September 13, 2013 - - Garnet color - Deep, dark purple color. Initial taste showed the 14.5% alcohol and tannins that overpowered the taste. After being open for an hour there was only a slight aroma of dark fruit. Tasted some dark fruit and a hint of white pepper, but the finish was a little sour on the sides of my tongue.

March 15, 2013 - Blind Tasting - Red Blends from California and Washington (My Place - Washington, DC): Really nice mix aromas: loam and pepper along with tart blackberries and currants. Solid depth on the palate, with velvety tannins. The fruit is tangy and tart, but not light, like fresh blackberries and currants; this is all highlighted by notes of graphite, pepper and cedar. Almost Bordeaux-like in its approach, but steeped in the tart black fruit that screams Mendocino.
