Tasted this wine in the Jarvis tasting room after an excellent tour of the property. Wine was delicious. Brought home, stored at 58 degrees for two years. Opened it and it was flat, boring, uneventful and clearly not something I would have bought. Cork was fine, no noticable "burnt" color on the edge, not much of a nose. I have to think this particular bottle was flawed.
This wine was a very nice surprise. Was given a bottle and told try it and see what you think. It was an enjoyable bottle of wine that I would purchase.

Great nose and delicious wine. Decanted for about 15 minutes and the wine showed beautifully. Ready to drink now and wish I had a few more bottles.
