- 2021 Havens Wine Cellars Black and Blue – USA, California, Napa Valley (12/4/2025)
Day 1: Price is right from WTSO for $19.99. Natural cork. Dark purple and very balanced wine with pepper, spice, floral, blueberries, cherry, menthol and dust. Talk about the perfect party wine where a wine geek would enjoy a glass. 92 points
Day 2: A pleasant surprise. Dark currants, cherry, spice, menthol, floral as Nandi pepper. Very good. 92 points
Day 3: Well this is a great QPR wine that would appeal to many. Very complex offering for the money. Pepper, floral, bell peppers, cherry, menthol, dust, spices and dark currants. Held up nicely over 3 days and should drink well through 2031. 92 ponts
Recommendation: WTSO $19.99 with free shipping. Cheaper elsewhere but free shipping is huge. (92 points)
