February 16, 2018 - I'm a fan of Kirk Venge and regularly purchase his wines. However, I really didn't enjoy this bottle. This blend of 66% Zinfandel, 16% Charbono, 14% Petit Syrah and 4% Syrah has a dark purple color and a fruity nose of dark berries and oak. It tastes of cherries, plums, licorice, and cedar. It's high alcohol content is very notable in its aromas and taste. I agree with others that it tastes too sweet and port like. I was told by the Venge staff that Scout's Honor should be consumed early and not cellared, so perhaps it lost something by waiting. I think that it's fruit lost its freshness and clarity. I tried the same bottle at a tasting years ago and enjoyed it much more.

August 17, 2017 - Given 90 minutes to breathe and accompanied by ribs with a fairly sweet sauce, this wine did not suck. That's as strong of an endorsement that I can give it.

June 4, 2017 - Better than a bottle last year, but still nothing to write home about. More integrated than the previous bottle, and the alcohol was less obtrusive. Still a little too sweet, however, and a little too rough around the edges. For the time being at least, it's just not what I would call enjoyable.
