June 8, 2018 - Agree richer and more weight and fruit than a lot of Wind Gaps. Liqueur darker red berries dominate the nose for me. Big palate. Good but not my favorite WG wine.

November 21, 2016 - surprisingly rich and full body for 12.25% abv wine; definitely California, with ripe purple fruit, but a good streak of (syrah-like?) minerality keeps it from being sweet or jammy; given the similar styles and price, though, stick with the Wind Gap syrahs

September 7, 2016 - Enjoyed this much more than my first bottle almost 3 years ago. Like a larger-scaled gamay. Blackcurrant, cherry and spice. Recommend a slight chill.

August 9, 2014 - 12.75% abv. Deep ruby red. Expressive red fruit aromas. Surprisingly rich and voluptuous on the palate. Good depth and length. I'm making a note to buy more next offering.
