April 18, 2024 - A nose of dark fruits and spices, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, cassis, berries, licorice and spices on finish, was very good. Drink now. www.winelx.com

November 28, 2023 - This is very clearly a "baby Reva." Great bang for the buck IMO. Really enjoyed this wine. Drank with grilled marinated hanger steak.

May 7, 2023 - Aerated with a Vinturi and decanted for one hour. Nose of ripe blackberry, blueberry, bramble, anise and spice. Black and blue fruit, bramble and spice on the palate. Long, fruit forward finish. Full bodied. Served with grilled marinated tuna steak.

March 12, 2023 - Gosh, this is their entry level wine? This is better than most premium Rhone wines made in CA. In a sense, I think it is just a nod to value.
