If you know Sleeping Lady then you will thoroughly enjoy this JF interpretation with a filet and some blue cheese. Smooth, approachable with distinct flavors, beautiful dark color and provides a smooth and lasting experience. I should of picked up more...

and still fresh with enjoyable balance of red fruit, minerals and oak. Pleasant juice with a filet.
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle.

A beautiful bouquet upon opening, a better initial taste than expected with elegant dark fruits, cassis and balance. Tasted through the first hour as it settled. This wine is still alive and well and paired nicely with a filet, balsamic onion and mushroom, mashed potatoes and some blue cheese.
The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle.

Putting aside all the notes, essence and things you would never taste in real life. This is a quite enjoyable, smooth and modest wine. You can enjoy it without distraction.

OMG! - dark berry fruit is present and graceful, with subtle oak, vanilla, and a touch of leather and earthy notes. This rivals Paul Hobbs 12' Beckstoffer Dr. Crane. Amazing and a perfect holiday treat.

nice blue berry with red notes, baking spice, oak notes and smooth finish. Really came into its own at the 2 hour mark.

Nice dark fruit on the front and a smooth balance on the palate, low to moderate minerality with light tannins and low acidity. Harkens to the 100% Cabernet! Don't wait much longer.

modest fruit with mostly blue notes, light tannin and low acidity - may be time to finish these off.

Purchased 6 bottles. So far 3/6 have been bad. Musty odor, high acids on palette and undrinkable.

this wine tasted of vinegar. Wine Spy's special hidden bottle. A bust.

a big surprise, light on the nose but enjoyable blackberry, leather, oak and a smooth and dry layered drinker.
