Jammy nose and a medium body lead to an above-average mouthfeel. Aging tannins indicate that it is past its prime but still provides a nice pair with lighter fares.

This is an expensive wine and a bit overpriced, but it is very good. Well balanced and integrated tannins, has a nose of clay, black fruit, and cherry. Consistent through the palate, has a long finish. Drink alone or with steak/ hardier fare.

Tasted at pickup party. Very fruit forward right now but definitely has a lot of potential. Needs more bottle age time to integrate the pieces of the blend together. Suggest waiting a year or two on this one.

Cherry tobacco, cedar, rich fruit, and plenty of acidity. Outstanding now with years of pleasurable drinking ahead.

Dark crimson color, blackberry nose. Smooth finish and opened up over about an hour. I think it is ready to drink now. Wouldn’t wait much longer.

This vintage of Onyx isn't really integrating well. Flavors and varietals are fighting each other. Not sure more time will change things.
