Comments:

The front end had fruit but was somewhat bitter and sharp. The finish was smooth but lacked much character and depth. I was a little disappointed here because I really enjoyed their Cabernet Sauvignon.

 

From the Label:

The Hayes family was a true California ranching family whose livelihood depended on the land. Our winemaker carries on the Hayes family tradition by crafting bright, delicious wines from premier California vineyards. We created these wines, with a ranchers pride, from excellent quality grapes for your enjoyment.

Produced and Bottled by Hayes Ranch, Livermore, California (could not find this producer's website.)
