Dark fruit, Liquorice and hit a of brett. Still some fruit, good acid and fine tannins. This wine aged beautfiully. Everyone loved it and it disapeared fast. Wish I had some more..... great winebid score. Well worth the $60 I paid for it.

M Som fr Pinions, Aspen said they just purchased this a month ago ($180 for a $35 auction bottle) so provenance could be questioned. Our bottle was definitely end of life but showed a lot of evolution. I've had a lot of Santa Cruz mountain wine. It's the most age-worthy in CA.

4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Rich & Dana's): Garnet core, showing some age toward the edge. Aromas of red currants, roasted beller peppers and black fruits. Well-balanced, with lovely dark fruit, plum and roasted herb flavors. Long finish.

Dark red color. Aromas of plum, raisin, and cedar. On the palate, this shows raisin, plum, dust, currant, cedar, tobacco, and a coarse, tannic finish. This is a nice wine and drinks fine now, but I would prefer more red fruit or the coarse tannins to be better in check. Time may resolve that point, but I wonder how much fruit will be left when that happens. Drink.

Very nice wine. Aromas of dark fruit and cedar. Smooth, well integrated, elegant. Good fruit flavours (dark cherry, currant) with hints of cedar and spice. Faded slightly after being open for a couple of hours. Alcohol level did not seem to listed on the label, but seems moderate.

Dark purple, good fruit on the nose, dusty, cedarbox cassis and black fruit on the palate, complex, long finish. Aging nicely.

It was great. Note is a week after having it. Aging very nicely. Wish I had 11 more!
