| TASTING NOTE: The Director's Cut is 87% Merlot with 10% Syrah and 3% Zinfandel in supporting roles. The Director's Cut wines are winemaker Corry Beck's personal interpretation of Sonoma terroir: Round, complex and interesting, this is juicy, spicy and fresh with structured, but not domineering, tannins. A tasty mix of red and black fruits. A perfect match for grilled lamb or steak. (Vintages panel, Nov. 2016) |
