Very good wine. The petite verdot really added to the overall flavor. Paired this with a 2007 Fay. Both were very good, but the Golden Rectangle had something more. Enjoyable.

Amazing wine. The 38% petite verdot makes such a difference coupled with the cabernet. 6 veteran wine drinkers sampled this bottle and all thought it was very good and different in a good way. One concern was the cork was like powder. I could not get the cork out as it desintegrated along the way. I was able to filter it into a decanter. Fortunately, the wine was in good shape I am chalking that up to the one bottle as I have had that laying down and chilled the whole time.

The nice thing about this bottle is the 38% petite verdot and how those grapes give the wine a different dimension. I decanted for two hours. Last glass was amazing. Give this wine some time to open up before consuming. As far as I know this wine is only available through the wine club or by visiting the winery and buying. I purchased mine at Stag's Leap several years ago during one of their private tours.

Drank beautifully. Group loved it with all the petit verdot in this. Rest were all full cabs or close.

Cherry, cassis, and herbs de provence with well-integrated tannins. Lovely wine.
