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.

paid: $13 (on sale from $19)

scored: 90
