This is very, very tannic, making the mouthfeel astringent and sandpapery. That’s the wine’s only fault, because the Bordeaux-style fruit is gorgeous and so is acidity. Tannin management is the winemaker’s challenge.

An admirable first effort from this winery on the high slopes of Lake County’s Mount Konocti, but the winemaker has to figure out a way to rein in those tannins. The underlying wine is potentially great, with Bordeaux-like cassis, cedar, pencil lead and smoky oak flavors balanced by pure, crisp acids, but the tannins are raspingly dry.
