With air this wine opened up and was very pleasant. Medium to full bodied, fruity but not overly so. Somewhere b/t a zin and a cab. Perfect with our dinner of stuffed pork loin, grilled asparagus and roasted cauliflower.

This has become a lovely wine with nice, mainly cabernet, aromas and complex flavors reflecting the various varietals making up the blend. Drink now and over the next year or so.

Drank this last bottle at Phillips 40th Birthday party. This bottle was not showing much of anything (or OTH), much less than the previous bottle consumed on Friday. Opened slightly in the glass. Drink now if you've got them.

Drank at home on Friday night, nice red fruits with moderate acidity, a bit lighter than more recent versions of this wine, with everything in balance. I just wanted more fruit.

OK AT BEST . THIS TASTED SWEET , MORE LIKE SUGAR IN WATER SWEET THAN GRAPE JUICE SWEET. I DON'T THINK I WOULD BUY THIS AGAIN. BY COMPARISON WE HAD THE 2000 RIGHT AFTER THIS , IT WAS MUCH BETTER MORE OF A WINE THAN THIS . I HAVE NEVER HAD A BOTTLE OF WINE THAT WAS LIKE THE 1999.NOT SURE WHY T HIS WAS THE WAY IT WAS.

(Group #7) Full opaque red/purple. Spicy zingy red black fruit. Compelling aroma. Rich jammy black fruit with green pepper aftertaste. 3/05
