A year and a half later and another bottle. The additional aging really made the Petit Verdot (it is a robust varietal) sing with licorice and cedar notes. This is a fully-extracted wine, but done well. Drinking perfectly now, rough edges have all become balanced and integrated. Stood up to smoked baby back ribs on M-Day.

This is sublime! Full of blackberries, balanced with some earthiness, but mostly a jammy bomb. Which I absolutely love! A touch of acidity balances it perfectly - drinking really well now!

Dark ruby with slow legs. Cherry on the nose with a hint of vanilla. Full bodied, smooth, but somewhat syrupy. Cherry and plum on the palate. Smooth, medium slightly spicy finish. There is no sediment in the bottle. The wine has low acidity.

Intense and deep, quite young, aerated and decanted, and displayed substantial structure and serious extraction. Might have excellent potential but delicious now. Stood up easily to a spiced smoked brisket.

Still very young. Intense fruit. Full mouth feel. Long finish. Very dark red. Paired well with spicy brisket.

This winery specializes in fully-extracted red wines. This is definitely that and has lots of interesting notes-tobacco, cherry, earthy
I'd drink now.

Blackberries and black cherries, wet stone, graphite, vanilla, pepper, smoke. Lovely acid and smooth lingering tannins. Long finish.

Amazing deal for $17. Fruit forward... needs at least 30 minutes. Will buy another case.
