13.2% alc., $19.95 (K&L Wines, San Francisco, CA). Produced and bottled by Joyce Vineyards LLC, Salinas, CA. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. The nose opens over time in the glass to reveal aromas of cherry, underbrush and toasty oak. Light to mid-weight in concentration, featuring red and black cherry fruits that offer good length on the mid palate but finish a bit flat and short. Silky in texture, with balanced tannins and noticeable but not overly-intrusive oak on the finish. Score: 86. Reviewed November 12, 2020
