  January 12, 2022 - Cherry, licorice, raspberry. A bit weak on the finish. Light tannins. Has held up well for a $15 wine.

  May 8, 2015 - Dull red color. Plain red table wine taste with no complexity or distance tones. For a blend we expected much more. Did not improve with age. Drank half a glass and got bored. Poured out the rest.

  May 2, 2015 - Nice enough nose of French-smelling merlot, French oak, herbs and spices, a touch of minerality, and soil. With air the '09 Gassac Grande Reserve becomes a touch more perfumed with a whisper of tapenade making an appearance. Overall not a very expressive nose. Where this wine suffers is the palate with its short, ineffective finish. You'd be doing it a favor to even call it medium bodied. Just a bland, boring palate here. I'm sad.

  February 27, 2012 - A surprisingly nice bottle of wine. Good blend of varietals. Medium acid, good aftertaste, solid performer. Definitely a "medium" red wine all the way around, but certainly a nice drinker. Light oaking comes across as a touch of butter, nicely balanced.
