Vintage Cellar's Notes: Made predominantly from Paso Robles grapes, the wine is full bodied and silky yet robust, with aromas of black cherry and plum and a palate of blackberry, raspberry and blueberry jam laced with vanilla and toast.
This wine was very interesting, and I enjoyed tasting it as it was pretty complex for an 8 dollar wine. It scent was smoky, like smoked or roasted peppers, and there was some spiciness coming through. It had some nice acidity, not overwhelming, but paired with the smokiness it was a good balance. I had some fruit flavors in it, dark ones like cherry or blackberry. I also got bell pepper and maybe a little bit of jalapeno flavor, but just the flavor and not the spiciness of it. Very good wine.
