Tasting note

This single-vineyard selection from the Jackson Family's Santa Maria Valley winery kicks off with scents ranging from red, blistered tomato to pomegranate reduction and mole sauce. On the palate, flavors vary from sweeter berry to tart cherry, with a savory, roasted pork element rounding out the wine. Score - 91. (Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 2014)

This dry orangey red coloured wine features intense empyreumatic, spicy and fruity scents and offers a full-bodied texture as well as fleshy tannins.
