another bottle - nose: light spicy-vanilla oak; taste: Charmin-soft light-medium mouth feel, cherry taste, complex medium-length blackberry-anise finish; overall: delicious, Sean Penn as a wine -- balanced, deep, modern, serious without being stuffy, paired well with grilled chicken and feta-chard side dish
12/23/11 - color: medium purple, with an element of brightness; nose: cherry oak; taste: medium-bodied mouth feel, tobacco-leather cherry taste, smooth mid-palate and a little black pepper on finish; overall: delicious, smooth package with great integrity from start to finish, paired great with roast chicken (and, I think, would be a winner at Thanksgiving as well).

Beautiful baking spices, red fruit, and texture round out this excellent wine. Color is deep garnet and the finish is medium to long. Beautiful.

I'm still really impressed with this wine. Balanced and soft with plenty of spicy fruit on the nose. Outstanding.

A really nice wine. Complex and rich. This wine has spice and plums and something smoky. Really nice wine.
