There's a slightly sour, forest-floor funkiness to the nose of this wine from an historic appellation near Hollister. Not boasting much ripe fruit on the palate, the flavors lean toward leather and earth, with fine tannins, nice acidity and hints of licorice.

A little harsh and irregular in tannins, with strong, ripe flavors of cherry and raspberry jam that finish sweet. It's a rustic wine for drinking with easy fare.
