  April 1, 2016 - Made by Gundlach Bundschu Winery. I don't think it's going to get much better, but it's held up nicely and it's drinking well right now. Enjoyed it with spicy home made guacamole and chips. Give it 20-30 in a decanter to open up.

  February 15, 2015 - Dark, inky color. Fruity nose of cherries and wood. A little hot on PnP with palate similar to nose, dominated by cherries with some toasty oak. Medium body, medium finish. Drank over several days, vacu-vin'd in between, it developed additional tannins and spice notes each day (and strangely, the oak became less toasty) although it also fell apart after 2 hours in the glass on day 2 so drink soonish.

  December 6, 2014 - It's finally coming into its own - has mellowed out, still takes about 20min to breath, however not overbearing anymore. The fruit flavors are subdued and gentler, with some caramel and dark chocolate more prevalent. The finish is nice and consistent, with a hint of date wrapping up.

  June 22, 2014 - Good QPR. Nose comes across alcoholic, fruity and hot. Blackberry and cherry with subtle chocolate undertones. Too light on the acidity, finish comes up short, with the alcohol dominating. Even so, it does go well with bigger bolder food choices. Not a sipper though.
