Community Tasting Notes (average 85 pts. and median of 82 pts. in 5 notes)

 Tasted by 1961Vintage on 6/22/2010 & rated 91 points: nice fruit, well balanced...much better thaN OTHER REVIEWS SUGGEST..NOT TOO OAKY OR BUTTERY , JUST RIGHT (167 views)
 Tasted by t4drman on 5/22/2010 & rated 80 points: This is perfectly described by the previous review. One dimensional, smooth, but not much else. For $30, you can do so much better. (232 views)
 Tasted by mike l. on 2/14/2010 & rated 82 points: completely overoaked. first sip is okay, tons of butter, but after that it's just boring and one dimensional. (876 views)
 Tasted by rjrausch on 1/16/2010 & rated 80 points: In my opinion this is over oaked. Vanilla and citrus on the nose. On the palate I was left with a strong oaky aftertaste without much fruit. For one glass I ran through a vinturi and it gave it a little more palatable flavor with some tropical fruit, but overall I wasn't impressed and disappointed I bought 3 without tasting first. I will struggle to drink these up, so I might try to give them away to some unsuspecting friend who just wants to get drunk. (770 views)
 Tasted by Anonymous on 6/6/2009 & rated 92 points: Lots of oak on this one. (1327 views)
