- Producer: Longboard Vineyards
- Location: Sonoma, California
- Year: 2016
- Type: Red
- Price estimate: $27 (from winery)
- Tasting notes: Inky dark purple in color. Smells a bit like a Cabernet with some pine and wood notes. Flavors on black cherry, blueberry, spice and pepper with some herbs. Finish is nice with definite coco notes. Drinks like a zin.
- Conclusions: This is my kind of wine. easy to drink, complex but not so much going on that you feel like you need to study the wine. Bob liked it a little less than I did, but it was a great sipping wine.
- Notes: This wine was great the day we opened it, but it was incredible the second day. It opened to a really fruity, beautiful red and lost some of the wood notes that I’m not always crazy about. (Yes, I know there are people who like the tree bark and forest floor taste, but I’m not one of them.) We are definitely getting more of this next time we order wine from the winery.
