This wine has nothing but a name in common with that gentrified village on the SF bay. An entertaining blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Syrah (not sure of the %). The tannins are pretty strong but disappear upon decanting, leaving a pleasant earthy smell and a semi-lingering finish. I have to admit the blend confuses my palate, but so what? I wonder how it will taste in 5 years.
