The Wine Panel - Truth Teller | The Miscreant Project 2021 "Right Bastard" Blend 91 points (January 30, 2024)
"We don't think the name fits this wine, as there's not a lot to like about a bastard, yet this wine was pretty likeable. But true to the playful nature of the winemaker, this blend that is dominated by 83% Merlot followed by 17% Cabernet, there's few who couldn't get along with this wine. Expect some dark blackberry and black cherry flavors with a touch of tannin. We think they should rename the wine "What's not to love?!"
