Inky ruby. Dark fruit preserves, candied licorice and a hint of cola on the nose. Smooth, broad and fleshy in style, offering plush black/blue fruit flavors energized by a spicy flourish.

The 2018 Right Hand Man checks in as 88% Syrah, 10% Petite Sirah, and 2% Viognier, and it's also from a variety of sites spread throughout the Central Coast.

Looking for a character-filled house red? Give this a whirl.
