Sadly, this was corked (the cork was infected with 2,4,6-trichloroanisole or TCA). Its too bad as the underlying wine seemed quite good. Might have been a great value.

Nice value here. This drinks cooler climate in style. Purple in color. The nose has nice cherries and dark cherries with baking spices and sandalwood. On the palate, this has decent acidity. The cherry flavors carry thru along with some cola notes. At under $20 per bottle, this is easy to gift or drink at a party and yet, interesting. I would like to taste this in a warmer vintage to see how it compares.
This is a blend of the grapes that didn't make it into the single varietal expressions consisting of 44% Syrah, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petite Sirah, with the remainder made up from Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.
This is the base wine for this winery. It seems to be a blend of the barrels that didn't make the grade of single varietal releases. Todos means all. That doesn't make it a bad wine by any means. In fact, this is an outstanding wine and excellent value compared to those single varietal wines. it is a blend 60% Syrah, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, with the rest Petite Sirah and Viognier.
This is a conglomeration of the remaining barrels after the single varietal wines have been bottled. And, like those, this keeps getting better every year. It is a blend of 57% Syrah, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Misc.
