  Lost in the cellar for... a little while. Was surprised at how good it still was. Still had some dark fruit coming through, light smoke, some notes of sage, and plenty of texture.

  Amazing, rich fruity bouquet with the syrah showing well, medium full body, solid finish, very little age on the rim, drinking very well still

  Definitely past its prime. Flat, bitter, not vinegar but heading that way. This one went down the sink.

  Bland start;nice finish. Taste is blunted.Watery. Royal purple. Disappointing especially with the reviews for the vineyard and the hype about the Tool drummer owning a stake. For Arizona, this is at least a notch above wines from Kansas. The 87 is a gift.

  Very plush ripe red fruits but not overpowering. Smooth. I liked it.
