This Meritage-style Santa Barbara county single vineyard wine is 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is bottled without either fining or filtration. At age 2.5, it's delicious. Warm chocolate, blackberry, mocha java, and plums. It's already thrown a little bit of sediment. Not enough to justify decanting but just enough to muddy the last glass of the night. Grade: B+
