  February 7, 2013 - Loved my final bottle. Paired with steak and potatoes, this was a jewel on the table. Opened for 2 hrs and poured through an aerator, the beginning was cassis and black raspberries. The middle was eucalyptus and cedar, with a side of oak. The finish was silk, velvet, a long lasting roller coaster of ripe tannin. Thank God for good wine!!! Amen.

  December 25, 2012 - Was a bit worried about how well this wine has held up, but it was still in fine condition. Still a lot of fruit and the tannins were well-balanced. Good, hearty cab/merlot blend. But there is definitely better wine from the region at similar prices (or lower). Unfortunately, that's one of the reasons why I am no longer a wine club member. Lambert Bridge is one of my favorite places to visit and they make great reds, but price point is too high.

  July 5, 2012 - Opened prior to dinner. 4th of July post dinner wine. Shared three ways. Full-bodied and savory. Cardamom, nutmeg and mint spice trio packed with red fruits, eucalyptus and cassis. Long finish. So glad I have one more to share.

  October 29, 2011 - Much better than my last bottle (surprisingly), when I thought the fruit had faded... still a lot of oak apparent, but evolving into a Bordeaux-like red fruit wine of incredible value (at the $7/bottle I paid!).
