This release is full of abundant, ripe fruit character. Possessing a great mouthfeel and balance, the Mendocino and Sonoma County grape blend has a deep garnet color and a rich, silky texture. The tannins are firm and smoothly integrated. Very complex for the price, this release continues the expression of complete quality and value under the Compass ® brand. |  |
