From the winery’s vineyard at the foot of the Santa Lucia Highlands comes this ripe, pleasant wine. It’s dry and crisp, even a little sharp, with full-bodied wintergreen mint, cherry, coffee and herb flavors. Drink now. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 85

Shows why Monterey reds are still struggling to garner acclaim, with ample evidence of the dreaded "veggies"--the aromas are reminiscent of the marinated peppers at the local deli. It’s too bad, because there’s some rich, sweet fruit underneath and the mouthfeel is wonderfully plush.——J.C.(7/1/2000)—— 83
