  March 6, 2017 - Good structure, but not much complexity. A nice drinker, but not all too memorable. Maybe I need to decant for awhile instead of PNP, as another review suggested. By no means a waste of money, and happy to drink my next three bottles for a good cause. Keep up the good work Porter Family. Bought while visiting the winery, which is a must if you haven't done so.
  
  Edit: previous reviewer was right. This was far better on day 3. Some of the tartness went away and a bit of complexity ans smoothness was more apparent. If you're opening this wine, I highly recommend opening at least one day ahead of time. Preferably two. Score changed from 87 to 90.

  January 17, 2015 - This was the second release. Lots of dark fruit (black cherry, plum, cassis, blackberry), along with cedar, cigar box, and earth. High acidity, medium+ tannin, medium+ body and alcohol. Medium+ finish. Smooth, balanced, nice drink.

  July 11, 2012 - First release (with village scene on label)(2007 & 2008 blend). Aromas of blackberry, pomegranate, cinnamon stick, smokey, earthy. Drank this over four nights, and I keep coming back to raise the score. It needs lots of air, and was better each successive night. PNP results in a very harsh tasting wine. It needs an hour or more decant in order to round out and smooth out a bit. Not sure what the blend is (why are they so secretive about it?), but it doesn't quite come together smoothly until it's really gotten some air and is almost a bit flat. But even still, it's a very nice drinkable wine if you give it the time.
