Blackberry and pepper and dried herbs--tarragon; good spicy mouth with bright cherry and blueberry with a mineral edge. Great character, classic terroir driven CdR.

Spicy black pepper and character. Depth, but also quite a bit of tension. And high aromatics to boot. Quite tasty stuff. And for $11. Very fine at that price.

A really beautiful, tho-be it a touch carbonicy (maybe? -- candied, definately). Full fruited, intesne structure right now. Clean and grippy. Needs some time but pretty tootin' good at $11 or so.

Not an outstanding wine, but decent-- fairly well-balanced, not too fruit-forward, drinkable. Nice for the price, but certainly nothing special.

Very disappointing; strange nose, bland, a little too sweet; just not very good overall especially when compared to the 2007.
