Shipment arrived and had to open one while allowing the others to settle. This has meaningful potential with time. A little tight and tart at the moment but I suspect that matures in time. Dark, cherry color in the glass. Nice nose where I agree with other comments that it delivers red berry on the nose, some spices emanating from the oak and a hint of vanilla. Overall, I really like the potential. Nice job, KB.

Wow, a really terrific wine. Well integrated, interesting nose and just so silky smooth. I think WS put this in their top 100; I don't put much stock in the actual ranking but use it as a guide to try new wines. Thrilled they called this one out for me.

Leather and new car smell. Dark fruit with nice mid palate and finish. Nice but price point seems too high.
