December 13, 2012 - Inky color. Real spicy, but the Viognier tempers it down a little bit.

July 13, 2012 - Currents and berries. Sweet savory flavors backed up by oak and spice. Lovely drop.

May 7, 2011 - Nose is blueberry and vanilla bean. Flavors are ripe blackberry and floral. Very lush and rich. Not tremendously complex, but still quite enjoyable. Medium finish with a bit of tannin.

April 16, 2011 - I've had a number of bottles of this over the last year and this one was the best. It has smoothed out and opened up, with dark fruit and a floral element on the nose and expansive ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit on the palate along with some white pepper. It all stays balanced and under control.
