A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This was from the Bedrock Fall release that arrived over a month ago, but I hadn't got around to trying it. I had recently tried the Bedrock Calif Syrah at $20.00. This Calico was a notch above that wine, but not a big notch. It will probably improve w/ 2-5 yrs of age I would guess.
