No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Disappointing to hear, as I have not yet had one from my 2014 LE WE ST batch yet....
Could be that I just royally screwed it up.

Nope. Mine was a real disappointment, too. The Bravado seems to be substantially better very early on... should be a good one. The RJS I had of BBJim's was exceptional.
2014 LE WineXpert Super Tuscan. Started in July of 2015, so almost 2 years old. Not even in the same league as the RJS Winery Series ST.

I always said this wine has been meh.....and I don't think it will improve, sadly.
Used BM45 and 7.5 g FT Rouge tannin. Kit comes with 60g oak dust and 30g oak cubes. Sprinkled yeast, did not rehydrate. Add cubes only in bulk aging. Added ~2 oz. glycerin at bottling + 1/4 tsp k-meta.
Very good wine for $5.99 at Costco.
Dry or with some residual sugar?
This is an interesting scenario. Western WA winery, that says they source grapes from the eastern part of the state, including Red Mountain. Like I said, this wine isn't overwhelmingly good, but they seem to have a nice operation going and a beautiful spot.
PNot sure how they are getting grapes from some of those AVA's listed however!![]()
