  February 2, 2019 - A gift from friends, we enjoyed a glass or two before dinner, comparing it to a 2014 La Stella Fortissimo. This wine is a deep ruby to garnet colour, with aromas of black cherries, currants, with a hint of violets and toasted jam. Mouth watering acidity , followed by medium tannins and a medium to long red jammy to lightly toasted oak finish.

  August 10, 2016 - Went back and bought 8 more of these with another 4 of the 2012 Chardonnay. With case discount, I bought these for $7.20/bt. I would pay double for these. If you live in Kansas City, go to Lucas Liquor and stock up while these are still available.

  July 30, 2016 - “A blend of Merlot (58%), Syrah (35%), Petite Sirah (5%) and Primitivo, this hedonistic wine offers appealing suggestions of coffee, vanilla and cherry. Ripe, silky soft milk chocolate flavors finish warm.” — S.S. (3/1/2015)

  January 9, 2016 - Full and fruity nose, opens with full flavors that linger delightfully on the palate. Pairs well with spicy chocolate!
