  October 27, 2019 - Good fruit but not quite ripe and multidimensional. Tannins are still noticeable. Medium to full bodied. Medium length and somewhat bitter finish.Afterall, it has a well balanced alcohol and oak.

  February 28, 2012 - Dark ruby in color. Leather, fruit, and barbecue on the nose. Nicely balanced tannins, but on the mildly dry side. Nice sipping wine, or good paired with food (grilled chicken, parmesan sweet potatoes, baked parmesan and spinach bake), but, oh, it would be good with chocolate!
