Rustic, with big, drying tannins on the finish, this wine divided the panel. All enjoyed it for its bold, gutsy dried-fruit flavors and sense of Sierra Foothills individuality, but two reviewers felt the tannins were a bit overpowering in the long run and the wine should be enjoyed young. One felt the wine would age well. Our advice? Buy two, try one and decide when to drink the other one yourself. ——W.E.(9/1/2005)—— 87
