June 22, 2020 - RJTCELLARS nailed the review on this...it’s a dog with fleas. I wanted this to be good...so much so I spaced out drinking my bottles over the last ~5 years. If it has improved, it’s been marginal. A light nose of rubber and dark fruit, with an over oaked mess of a palate. I’m not even going into detail on this review, because honestly, they wine just isn’t worth it.

April 16, 2019 - Still a dog with fleas- I really wanted to like this but with 5 bottles consumed an 1 to go it just never lived up the merchant's sales hype. I'll be glad to be rid of them, bought 6 of them in July of 2017, and they were all marginal to unpleasant.

November 18, 2018 - Not sure where "bbinsc" was coming from on this wine... no offense intended. Uninspiring probably but at $12.50 a bottle from WTSO a nice enough QPR. I don't think you could expect much more from an unusual blend wine from Cali. This decent Rhone blend from California was good enough and for a reasonably good price was a plus. Great wine...no but pleasing enough that in my opinion I thought it was worth trying a few of the 15' vintage. Will just hope that it is. Enjoy!
