"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."

"The 2021 Monkey Jacket is a blend of Valdiguié, Carignan, Petite Sirah, Syrah and other mixed red varieties. It has inviting aromas of blackcurrants, wild berries, forest floor, mushrooms and cinnamon. The light-bodied palate is soft and supple with layer after layer of nuanced fruit and a long, fragrant finish."
