This grape is well on its way to becoming the signature red of the region, and this is a fine example of why. Black cherry, raspberry, bright oak spice and dusty tannins that keep the flavors together and finishing with style. An herb encrusted prime rib would be a perfect pairing. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
