This artisanal wine was handcrafted by Sergio Martinez and his son Cesar, who made only 104 cases. It is 82% cab, 11% merlot, 6% lemberger and 1% syrah. The wine opened up a little acidic and sour, but after decanting, opened up into mid-summer bing cherries and dirt and dust. It retained a high acidity for a blend of this type however. I think it is a fine effort. I would definitely try subsequent vintages.
