Cruse Wine Co. Monkey Jacket 2021 Review
This wine from the North Coast of California is an interesting blend of Valdiguié, Carignan, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Tannat, and more. It has a punchy nose with a slight herby tinge. The palate is incredibly juicy with bright red berry notes and subtle savory hints throughout.
