Last bottle - still going strong. Consistantly good over the last couple of years. Deep flavors from some of the higher end vineyards with just a kiss of oak. Wondering why I didn't buy more. 90.

Cocoa and dark fruit on the nose. Same on the palate with medium body and a fairly smooth finish. Overall, very drinkable now on its own. Probably good with food as well.

A friend and I tasted this at the winery on 6/11/11. It had a soft, pleasant bouquet of cassis, plum, black cherry, cinnamon, cocoa and spice aroma. The palate was soft round and dry with flavors that followed the nose.

Grapey and a little medicinal but we keep buying it anyway -- it somehow manages to rise above its own mediocrity. After an hour or so some very nice deep cherry flavors emerge along with a nice mineral streak.

This is our third bottle and I'm still on the fence. Pretty grapey and a tad sweet. Not a flavor profile I tend to like, but this somehow isn't bad at all.

My least favorite bottle of this yet -- sour, floral, and grapey. I'm gonna stop buying it.
