Blend from Mendocino grapes. It's ~ 60% cab with a bit of cab franc. Dark fruit, medium-bodied. Very smooth/high acidity. Low tannin. Very enjoyable esp for the price of a bottle!

Deep concentrated ruby color with a pink rim, this "California" appellation Cab is fun but not serious. The label features a rodeo cowboy on a horse and Old West-style lettering, and the bottle has an unusual shape with a more gradual shoulder and deeper punt than traditional Bordeaux bottles; it's also heavier than most bottles. I like this styling very much! From the guys who brought us Bandit tetra pack "juice box" wines not long ago comes this brand new wine that shows aromas of gingersnaps, alcohol (nail varnish), pie raspberries, cinnamon, vanilla and resin. The palate offers up low-moderate acid and moderate tannin alongside gobs of jammy fruit including plum and more raspberry. Some baking spice on the vanilla-y finish rounds out the experience that's definitely not complex but a fun ride - especially for new winos. I'd definitely bring this to a BBQ or to a party with lots of beer drinkers - they'll love it!
