I had my first bottle of this wine a little over a year ago. I liked it, but commented that I thought it would improve with time. That has proved to be the case. My numerical rating may be conservative. This bottle was opened for most of 2 hours before consumption.

Very deep dark center, purple rim with no signs of age. Sweet, blackberries, creamy, dark fruit compote, all about the fruit. Dense, blackberries, nuts, ashy wood, creamy, some iron, good acidity, tannins fairly smooth, alcohol is prominent, good length. Very well made wine, however the level of alcohol (14.7%) detracts for me - and I think it might be higher than that. Good now, but might be better in a year or two.

This is a very interesting blend. I like blends, and I like deep/dark decadent styled wines. So, this is right up my alley. I left the bottle open for 1-2 hours before consuming and believe it benefited from that strategy. I also sense, but cannot articulate why, that the wine will benefit from a little age. I am not going to rush to consume it.

I like blends.......and, this is a good one. The bottle was open for 1+ hours before dinner.

Nicely balanced, integrated. Solid fruit, not jammy, tasty American red blend.
