AboutKeiser Family Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2024

"Keiser Family" is a label wtso has used before. Merchant 23, from whom they apparently got the wine, is a well-known wholesale marketplace where producers quietly unload excess bulk wine, grapes, and shiners. So sayeth Gemini. Caveat emptor!
