November 27, 2019 - Drank from seller. Purchased October 2012 for $44. Hint of stone and berry on nose. Very dark deep purple. Full-bodied burst of acid, chewy and hint of bitter cherry on finish. 7/10.
September 21, 2017 - Ready in 2017
November 21, 2016 - We had this with grilled burgers on 11/21/16. It had a ripe, inviting bouquet of smoke, bacon, blackberry, plum, licorice and spice aromas. The palate was seamlessly smooth and very tasty with flavors of blackberry, plum, burnt toast, mocha, cocoa, licorice and spice.
January 28, 2015 - Solid blend, smooth, medium finish, smooth.
December 8, 2013 - First of 6. No specific notes, but wonderful harmony. Not amazing.
October 7, 2013 - popped and poured, and a fantastic wine. Great southern Rhone style, rich, spicey, integrated with still plenty of acids to go longer. We really enjoyed and sucked down faster than we realized!
September 2, 2012 - Light body with grenache coloring in glass
Smoke and bacon on nose.
Spices all the way - nice chewy finish with white pepper
Very light, grenache dominates with barely noticeable tannins
August 9, 2012 - Great hints of spice and pepper, with a slight bit of coffee. Wonderful now on release night or for a couple years away.
