Dandelion Vineyards has emerged in recent years as the lion (or lioness) that roared in U.S. wine competitions. Wines like this explain that circumstance quite nicely. Rich and layered red fruits combined with beautifully integrated oak, a note of eucalyptus and spice with exceptional persistence through the finish, and you have a remarkable wine for an equally remarkable (as in well below its true value) price. A platinum award-winner at the San Diego International Wine Challenge.
