3/21/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 87 pointsMedium-bodied, forward, soft, fresh and oaky, the wine offers a core of ripe, sweet, red berries with a hint of cocoa and espresso on the round-textured palate that carries through from the mid-palate to the finish. This will be easy to enjoy on release. Drink from 2023-2030. |

8/13/2021 - PatrickH Likes this wine: 87 pointsI did a side by side comparison between this and a California cab to pair with A5 Wagyu. The earthy flavors worked better. It's not the most sublime wine but it goes well with rich foods. |

1/7/2021 - red freddy Does not like this wine: 80 pointsServed at room temperature with Stuffed Bell Peppers. Medium opacity, somewhat dusky, Garnet red on the pour. Blackberry on the nose. Palate - thin and lacking flavor, heavy on acid and tannin. |

1/5/2019 - VinCrush Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis latest bottle bounced back wonderfully from the disappointing one this summer. This one was rich, full, smooth, and complex. Great nose. Glad I have one left. Don't expect further improvement, and risk for decline seems high, so I'll drink it this year. |

9/17/2017 - ajbergren wrote: 89 pointsDark brownish red with medium optical density and high reflectivity. The nose is aromatic, with menthol, cedar, graphite, and earthy red fruits, including plum, cherry, and berries. With some time, develops some celery seed and vegetal notes in a very pleasing and complementary way. A very enticing nose, with delicious and juicy notes coming across. The palate is medium bodied, with a fresh acidity that provides a lively step. An even texture with medium density and concentration, showing tannins that are in the background more than anything. The attack shows juicy red fruits with medium intensity and is straight-forward. The midpalate picks up some intensity with fresh garden soil and fruit rolled in tobacco and toffee. The finish has good length and ok intensity, leaving a smokey warm fruit lingering. |

5/29/2016 - VinCrush Likes this wine: 90 pointsEnjoyed this far more than I expected at this price. This wine offers a distinctly Bordeaux profile at less than $15. Smoky dark fruits, some cedar, and earthiness. Enough tannin to give it some edge while still being nicely balanced and drinkable. Obviously not as complex or powerful as some o its more expensive neighbors, but very good for the price. I'd say drink now and for the next 5 years or so. |

1/7/2014 - millerarner Likes this wine: 89 pointsDecent table wine. Well balanced, with a fair amount of finesse for the price. Paired very well with mushroom risotto, and has a smooth, if short finish. Nose with nice clean floral elements and at times what can only be described as pink bubblegum. |
