This bottle had a lot more acidity from mid palate thru the finish. Dry with mostly blackberry notes. Good drinker but you have to like the style. Seems that it was more balanced a few years ago.

We liked this blend better than the community... after an hour of air it clearly moved out of the 80's for us. An underlying sweetness and a mouth full of dark fruit. Might even get to 92 by the time the pasta is served. Never heard of it before but will buy some more. Another bottle 6/22, clearly a 92 with potential to go higher with a bit of age. Good value at $29.

40/23/21/16 Cabernet/Merlot/Syrah/Petit Verdot. Medium nose shows baking spice, black plum, mocha, espresso, blackberry. Palate is immediately dry, grippy, but also layered with black fruits, mocha, graphite, black plums, savory notes, primary tones all around. High tannins, medium plus alcohol (15.5%), drinks young, but nice QPR for the region. Should see nice development down the road as well.

Beautiful dark red/purple with lots of red fruit and little tannins for being young. I opened the bottle and started sipping while cooking dinner - not too much difference in taste/mouth feel after close to 2 hours.

Very nice wine with a mix of black and red fruits. Rich and flavourful, soft and not much tannin. Medium plus weight, luscious and good with salmon or beef. Not complex, similar in style to Caymus family reds.

Similar to last note. Not much difference after another year in the cellar. Holding its fruit and fresh acidic notes.

Wonderful smooth mouth feel. Rich aroma that's just a little fruit forward. Full of black berry and raspberry tones. Very nice and enjoyable.

Similar to last note. Found to be a bit fresher than last bottle. Very good blend for the price.

Bit of a fruit bomb but it has some character. Smooth tannins, medium to long finish

Smooth mouth feel and great finish. Deep rich red hue with full bodied berry fruit taste.
