  May 24, 2016 - US tasting #7 brick colour on the edge, deep red, massive nose, cherries, ink, sweet aromas, some red berries. Round, light and smooth mouth feel, elegant wine with a slightly jammy feeling but not over the top. Italian style merlot, really nice!

  April 18, 2013 - Close to the 1997 in rating. Opened up nicely after about an hour. Really nice Napa Merlot. I think it is worthy rival to Merryvale's Cabernet.

  April 14, 2013 - Big and tasty but not a special occasion wine by any stretch. Their cab is dramatically better.

  August 10, 2012 - Dark ruby color. Jammy nose of cherries. Tastes of black cherry, anise, white pepper, earth, and chocolate. Noticeable tannins. A bit tart on the rich finish.

  March 8, 2012 - The wine is a beautiful burgundy-a bit darker and heavier than most merlot. The nose is berry with a light hint of chocolate. This wine explodes with berry, vanilla, some light spice and medium oak. The tannins are very light with a great mouthfeel. We drank this wine before its drinking window. It will continue to mature for at least five years.
