11/6/2015 - TEDL Does not like this wine: 75 pointsThe flavor was a bit off when we opened the bottle. It improved a bit with time but still was less than we expected and we ended up disposing of the bottle. Past its prime... |

5/21/2015 - TEDL Does not like this wine: 85 pointsThe fruits/jams were the lead on our palates with tannins coming on as well. Overall just good for us due to the dominant fruits and we usually go for a Meritage. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. |
