9/6/2016 - AllRed wrote: 91 pointsPopped and poured by our hosts. Dark color with plummy dark fruit, licorice and sassafras with a pronounced earthy/meaty undertone. Plummy dark fruit, soft and balanced, tannins are fine-grained and soft. Nice finish; plummy dark fruit over Asian spice qualities. 91-92 pts. |

3/10/2016 - brianofthevine Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery nice. Thick and rich black cherry and blackberry fruit with dark chocolate throughout. Good balance and structure, bold firm tannins, long finish. Will definitely benefit from sitting another couple of years. |

Full-bodied with firm, sweet tannins and flavors of kirsch, blue fruit, black raspberry and chocolate. 90-91 pts, and in need of time. |

5/18/2012 - Wine Sparty wrote: 92 pointsDecanted for about 40 minutes before having with burgers off the grill, then drank over the next 4 hours. Very nice, with cocoa aroma and blackberry. Taste reminds me of some young Bordeaux at first, then came along into the blackberry and plum flavors. The finish on the tongue is slightly too sweet to get this a higher score, but still a very good wine. |

4/1/2012 - AllRed wrote: 92 pointsDecanted about an hour before a simple dinner of roasted vegetables and ribeyes. Opaque inky crimson color. Notes of black cherry, red fruit and herbs. Velvety, sweet tannins, with red berry, cherry, vanilla and spice. Finishes nicely, with good acidity and dark fruit. Surprisingly accessible- can easily be enjoyed now. 92 for me, 91 from Mrs. AllRed. |

3/31/2012 - Plunge the Worm wrote: 91 pointsBright rich red velvet color. nose is fruit jam, cherry sweet oak on top of green leaf smells. Nose follows on to the palette, straightforward Cabernet but not simple. Finish is creamy with fruit tannin lingering in the tongue to savor till the next sip. I'm satisfied; bought a case this btl #1. |
