Everything I previously wrote, except for the one dimensional bit. This is fantastic now! Amazing how much big fruit is still left after 10 years. everything has come together now to give a beautifully balanced, multi dimensional wine. Simply amazing. And when you consider it was only about $13 a bottle, it should probably get another five stars.

Beautiful cherry fruits are just receding to allow the Sonoma yeast to participate more fully in the heavenly medley that PPP is wont to deliver. I have a feeling this should not age much longer. DRINK UP! ?

Big and fruity. A bit sweet. Tasty but unsophisticated. Fine for a cheap restaurant bottle or really cheap weekend hot tub wine.

Not as unbelievably spectacular as the 2010s have bed held out to be, but very drinkable. Probably the closest thing we can get to a true French country wine in Texas.

Heavy deposits in the bottle neck. Wine Diamonds! ;-p
As always, that unmistakable big yeasty Sonoma nose. Amazingly fruity for an eight-year-old wine. I would say this is the perfect drinking window right now!

I know this is from Napa, but it has that big Sonoma yeasty nose. Most of the fruit has faded into the background now. Dry and dusty mouth. Goes down smooth as silk with a clean finish.

2011. Cor.kz offers no way to add the 2011 vintage. This is a nice one, But for $27 I expected better. No glaring flaws, but nothing to write home about either. A decent well-balanced dry Italian red blend.

A great wall of Sonoma yeast comes charging out of the glass, followed by a trail punished duster of fruity horse sweat and trollop twat. Let it never be said that Woot! wines have anything remotely resembling consistency. This apparently emanates from that no-mans hinterland of sublime dreck.

Poor quality control, Ty Caton. :-(. Every bottle is a different mystery waiting to be opened, although all (non-corked) about the same rating. This bottle is fruity; almost Zin like.

Decent red blend. It's losing its fruit and getting dry and dusty. Perfectly adequate mulled with spices and mesquite honey though! :-)

Hints of Sonoma yeast on nose. What?! Green mouth. Flat. Boring. Aerating slightly improves this. Much improved when paired with bourbon balls and inebriation! ;-p

Decent, but hardly worthy of Bastille Day. One dimensional and bland. The French are sending us their dregs now. This, at $13, wasn't nearly as good as some vin de pays I picked up a decade ago for $5.
