  A Winebid.com purchase. Really an experiment because of the screw cap. This wine is proof that corks are gross and designed to fail. The screw cap kept this wine fresh and vibrant.
  
  Color. Dark red.
  
  Nose. A etch nose of delineation. Cabernet like fruits of cassis and cherry. Raise your nose a bit and the Sarah fruit shows up. Blackberries and a little spice. Raise your nose a little further and you smell the merlot fruit. Rich smoky cherries and raspberry. There is a lot going on in this wine.
  
  Palate. Smoky rich fruits. Blackberries and cherries and burnt bbq meats. This finish is balanced with nice tannins and acidity. The finish is not treble terribly long, but that is okay.
  
  Overall I love this wine. So much yumminess.

  The wine is at its peak. Drank a bottle several years ago and would have rated it lower but has since improved. Full-bodied, rich black cherry and blackberry notes. Well balanced with decent lingering acidity. A few years back it was a bit too acidic with a sour finish for my taste. It's in a good position right now. Not complex but substantive. For this wine, lots of patience paid off, especially at the price point.

  Wine has been stored in a temperature controlled cellar for approximately 5 years.
  
  This is an easy drinking wine, but it does not offer the complexity or range that I seek in a Super Tuscan. Similar to a bottle consumed approximately 10 months ago, the wine is not vibrant, and I won't wait to finish my remaining two bottles as I don't see this gaining.
  
  This also has plenty of sediment, so use an aerating screen when you pour. I would discourage decanting to trap sediment as the wine isn't holding up too well.
  
  My advice is drink up.
