Not expecting much after tasting room fiasco...did not really like anything!
But, after holding it for three years or so, I think I can actually give it an 87 rating and call it good!

Simple but enjoyable. Tastes of blackberry pie, very approachable. Good pizza wine.

Popped and poured from cellar into decanter then to glass. Dark deep color. Nose was big very aromatic with dark druit and perhaps cocoa. Lots going on here.
Palate is full bodied with a rich smooth texture. Nicely balanced. Drinks very well. It was the standout wine of the night. Wish I had more, but it is all gone. 5,14,15,6=90

No score as I am suffering with a cold, but still found this wine to be quite enjoyable and easy to drink. Noticed the cork was of composite material and had a tire track printed on it (Driven cellars has a car theme). If you visited the winery you would understand. Anyway, the color was dark and dense. Nose was big and aromatic (even with my cold). Looking forward to enjoying my last bottle when my sinuses are cleared up. An unusual varietal that I have not tried in the past, but would buy more of this again.

This is a big, dark, and driven wine with black cherry, blackberry jam, and notes of cedar within. Very big on the palate and mouthfilling with dark berry flavors and soft tannins. Rich, ripe black plums and chocolate hints.

Opened two hours with very little development. Standard Foothills red...black cherry, vanilla, cedar, cough syrup,some earth, tame (nearly lacking) tannins. Defenitely a primary/linear wine with a slightly rustic, nearly interesting palate. Finish drops off a cliff with a bitter parachute. Good wine but uninteresting.

Black plums, cigar box, cherries, even a hint of anise. Tannins still overpower the fruit - needs 6 more months.

I liked this better than the barbera we had yesterday but ann didn't. This was more structured and more balanced. Dark fruits, cigar box and a little spice. Not bad for $12. The last of a mixed case. Won't buy again.

Very soft dark fruit with some chocolate. Minimal tannins. After corn on the cob there was the strongest note of tobacco I have ever had in wine. Acceptable for the price ($12) but nothing memorable. Would not buy again.

Black and blue fruits with some coffee, chocolate and oak that carry through on the pallet. The acohol is slightly noticible. This is a little lighter bodied than expected given the big nose. Nice acidity and very fine tannins. 86-87
