3/13/2008 - JMReed NC wrote: NRRuby in color. Aromas of strawberry & tobacco. Flavors of cherry & strawberry fruits are prominent, with hint of chocolate on the finish. Was not as big and bold as I expected for a Reserve Merlot. |

4/1/2020 - 2Donkeys Likes this wine: 90 pointsBlown away by this wine. 100% Cabernet Franc. It is very French in nature and has lots of over tones of a cotes du Rhône / Beaujolais. Dry with soft fruit and very nice vanilla finish. |

No real tannins to speak of and I found it to have a very present tartness that I didn’t think belonged given the price point of this wine. |

10/4/2017 - SkyeWalker Likes this wine: 84 pointsRuby in color with thin legs. Light bodied more in line with a Pinot noir than Childress Meritage. Not much on the nose, just hint of cherries. Velvety smooth with no tannins or sharp edges with med finish. Works well with tomato based pasta dishes. |

10/1/2017 - SkyeWalker Likes this wine: 87 pointsGolden yellow with thick heavy slow legs. Coats the inside of the glass. Banana to pineapple on the nose with hint of nut. Creamy with citrus bite forward with a smoky/oakness in the mid palate but finishes clean and smooth. Paired with honey lime grilled shrimp, which works well with the wine. |

9/23/2017 - SkyeWalker Likes this wine: NRLittle past prime on this one, Lots of brown hues. Candied dark fruit forward "little sweetness" with a taste of white pepper towards finish. Did not score because l kept past prime and would be lower due to that. |

8/27/2017 - SkyeWalker Likes this wine: 92 pointsWine aged very well, deep color, (brick brownish hues due to age). The tongue shows several distinct color variations. Nose has hint of leather and tobacco. A little sharp but smoothed out after decanting. Nice medium tannins with a lingering complex finish of tart black cherry. |
