  Kumbaya Blend California 2014

  Snoothrank:

  Ruby red coloration with rusty purple hues around the rim when held against light and shows nice legs too! Semi clear transparency which suggests some decanting could be done to this one. Aromas of sweet vanilla, dark cherry, blackberry and chokecherry deepness....perhaps some mild peppery spice and oak dryness. Flavors are very fruit forward... Read More

However, it has rounded out to a nice, mouth-filling wine. I am wondering if this is a stylistic change at the winery. Read More

  Snoothrank:

  Beautiful dark color. (What else for a PS?) Tart black fruit nose. Very chewy dark fruit on the tongue, Think unsweet prunes. Some steeliness. Plenty of tannin and plenty of acid. I really think this one has a pretty long life in front of itself. Read More
