It's only wine but I like it
Shows some of the herbal, spicey, earthy notes that one associates with reds from the Cotes du Rhone. On the other hand, there are slightly sweet, confected notes as well belaying its Cali roots. Oak is notable, though I didn't fine it overpowering. While not quite my style of wine, this was still quite enjoyable both on its own and especially with BBQ'd fare. Fans of the style with surely enjoy this. Tasted Aug 2013.
