CT drink by date was 2019, but this is certainly Sequel left over juice. Day 2 was quite good, better than some $40 walla wallas I've had. It has a couple years left, wish I had bought more. Repeat.

Deep red, rich, silky, and complex, with notes of black cherry, cassis, and tannins. The acidity on the finish can be unpleasant unless you like big reds. Very drinkable alone or with food.

This has gotten even better than my first one opened a couple years ago. This $20 bottle of wine is better than most $40 bottles of wine. Still needed 30 mins of air time and then it was sailing all night long. 5 Star QPR wine for sure.

For a 2nd tier label this wine is amazing. Still needed 45 mins to open up and get approachable. Nice oak, loads of dark red fruits, long finish. You will not find a better wine for $20. This does not disappoint in any way.

Long Shadows winemaking talents come through in this 2012 vintage. Got it for $20 but I would've paid twice as much and still been pleased with the price. Totally drinkable now, but I'm cellaring most of it for a few more years to see what it becomes.

Excellent bottle of wine. For $19 a bottle at Costco you can't buy a better wine. Drinking really well right now but can lay down for several mores years easily.

Red fruit aroma. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), 20% Merlot, Cab Franc, Carmenere, Malbec, Syrah. Ripe fruit aromas, it's WA, so not plush. A clear, balanced and everyday style. Smooth palate with marked bitterness on the finish. Chewy. A drinkability.

I liked it a lot. Nice interplay between the cassis and oak flavors.

Very drinkable now and a bargain for a Long Shadows wine.
