Found this at Draper & Esquin in St. Helena. Only time I've seen any product dfrom this label. Medium brite ruby. Elegant nose of flowers, cherry cola, cocoa, and earth. All hit the palate running along with a sweet spice like cardamon. Lovely entry, nice weighty center and a 4+ lapper finish. Only this one bottle in the cellar so now I have intense buyers remorse. Must be negotients as this was cellared and bottled by. 91/?. no ideer 13.8% alc. WW

Last I heard, these folks were in Alameda near Rosenblum, but in thier house. They were sourcing grapes from several places and making the wine wherever they could, usually somewhere up in Sonoma County. I'm not totally sure, but I think they may have gone under recently.
Forgot to add - Their Cab was sourced from somewhere up in Napa and was sold for about $60. They also made Zin, Syrah and Sauv Blanc which went for about $10 - $12.
