Not bad but nothing special. Nice dark fruit aromas and flavors, but not much depth or secondary flavors. Maybe past its peak? Will try again with a decant and see.

Pine Ridge has tried too hard to create a broad portfolio... or are they just being creative in using up excess juice. this was simple and a little thin.

Excellent blend, dense opaque deep red color, needs some time to aerate. Has nose of pepper, cassis, hint of tobacco, and blue fruit. Fruit and some brown spice on the palate. Tannins firm and in balance. Medium to long finish. Could stand to age longer to mellow out a bit andet the fruit speak a little louder.

Similar notes to our last bottle in 2014. Smooth and elegant, the Merlot influence still dominating. Did not decant this time.
