Made by the Oenology students at UC Fresno the only thing reserved about this bottle is the fruit. ^0% cab and 40% Syrah it magnifies what a talented winemaker working with superior fruit delivers against students working with so-so berries can do. Medium ruby. Nose mostly of spices and oak. Decent entry, lite center and a 2&1/2 lapper finish. Think I bought this from Roberto at 14.99. 83/81. 14% alc. WW

WW, I believe what IK meant was that you typed ^0% when you most likely intended to type 60%. You typed an uppercase 6, which comes out as ^. Hence, the fumblefingers.

Verne, that's a real collector's item now as Dagny has stopped making the wine. She says it cost them $20 to make every bottle they sold for $12 wholesale...
