I was pleasantly surprised with this wine since I was 3 years past the drinking window. Bright Cherry color. I noticed the effervescence when I decanted it and on drinking it showed that on the tongue. Medium bodied on the tongue. Less than 1 tsp of sediment with this 2009 vintage. Wish I had another bottle. Purchased from WTSO in January 2013. Held up well in the cellar.

This was much better than my previous bottle. I allowed it to open up over a few hours. The oak and red fruit was more integrated. The finish was medium and clean but with richer levels of raspberries and cherries.

Solid red blend. Nothing outstanding about it... but no rough edges either. Purple fruit and some coffee on the nose. Blueberry, blackberrt and a little spice on the palate. Smoth finish... not much of a tannin backbone. I'd be drinking these now.
