From "California"; no further appellation designation than that. Glass Mountain Quarry is a second label from Markham Vineyards of Napa.
Aromas of ripe red cherries and plums, flavors also include blackberry. Medium body, good juicy flavor. 86 points, Wine Spectator. The tannin and spicy notes in it would make the wine good with grilled food, or a good pizza wine, but it'd be good by itself, too.
Good, basic syrah that delivers ripe fruit and enough tannic backbone to carry it. Drink now; don't bother to age it.
$9.99, Richmond, Private Stock.
