10/20/2013 - snarfglk wrote: 92 pointsThis rating is based upon consumption of the remaining half of the bottle from day one. It was OK, but not great the first day. It was awesome and shined day 2. Lesson learned: this wine needs air time to open. It is still young. |

8/15/2014 - snarfglk wrote: 92 points16.6% alcohol!!! No trace of it in the nose or palate. Drank over 3 days with a small splash day 2. This may have been at its best day 3. Don't drink too much, the alcohol sneaks up on you. |

12/31/2019 - snarfglk Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis STRONGLY reminds me of a Right Bank Bordeaux. AND it gets better with air. Classic Old World style Merlot with some, but not an overabundance of California fruit. A true winner for $22. |

11/30/2012 - snarfglk wrote: 92 pointsThe back label of this bottle states it is ready to drink now (upon release) or 15 to 20 years from vintage. I totally agree! A mature, age-worthy shiraz is infinitely better than a young one, IMO. This is soooo fine. And to clarify, my palate has changed from a New World bend to a relatively mostly Old World leaning. But this is still great. |
