2007 Caliza Winery Companion

The only wine that did not reveal a lot of character is the 2007 Companion, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, which is dense and monolithic. These are all richly fruity, up-front, plush wines offering plenty of briery, raspberry fruit and roasted herb characteristics. The overall impression is one of juicy, fleshy reds meant for near-term consumption. Tel. (805) 237-1480
