Sorry but this wine sucks. I dont say this to too many wines but I have had 2 bottles and I think its just gone past its prime. Its completely disjointed, unbalanced and has a just plain bad finish. My wife actually got made at me for buying this or $9.

Nose of Blackberry, blueberry, oak notes of Smokey Bacon & sweet tabacco with hints of earth/mud, floral, & herb/Bell Pepper. Still holding up pretty well (tannins hanging in there) but losing just a little of its luster.

Very, Very good. Unlike many red blends this one has a focus of cabernet sauv and uses other varietals to back it up and round it out. I found the cabernet to be very characteristic with nice oak, leather and tobacco tempered by a smoothness from the other varietals. Unfortunately I understand the winery is now in bankruptcy and just had their liquidation sale. Fortuntaely, I got 8 of these plus 4 of the cab sauv. Sad loss.

Sad to see this go. Last one I have. Always will have fond thoughts of Whitman and the Narcissa.

A nice earthy wine, much more like a cab, in violent agreement with the reviews. I would only add that it has passed its peak, but still strong.
