October 19, 2013 - Last bottle - still going strong. Consistantly good over the last couple of years. Deep flavors from some of the higher end vineyards with just a kiss of oak. Wondering why I didn't buy more. 90.
April 12, 2012 - Still a great bottle for the value
March 23, 2012 - Cocoa and dark fruit on the nose. Same on the palate with medium body and a fairly smooth finish. Overall, very drinkable now on its own. Probably good with food as well.
June 11, 2011 - A friend and I tasted this at the winery on 6/11/11. It had a soft, pleasant bouquet of cassis, plum, black cherry, cinnamon, cocoa and spice aroma. The palate was soft round and dry with flavors that followed the nose.
March 25, 2011 - My least favorite bottle of this yet -- sour, floral, and grapey. I'm gonna stop buying it.
March 7, 2011 - Grapey and a little medicinal but we keep buying it anyway -- it somehow manages to rise above its own mediocrity. After an hour or so some very nice deep cherry flavors emerge along with a nice mineral streak.
January 31, 2011 - This is our third bottle and I'm still on the fence. Pretty grapey and a tad sweet. Not a flavor profile I tend to like, but this somehow isn't bad at all.
