  Bought this at a charity auction years ago as part of a package and never thought much about it. Opened this bottle on a "why not?" mid-week whim and WOW, what a pleasant surprise! Beautiful, smooth, subtle dark cherry, licorice and charcoal. Drink alone or with food - this is a winner. I'll look for this vineyard in the future.

  Fresh yet concentrated cherry, older leather, a little strawberry, dustiness, white pepper. Slight smoke. Nice layers, solid length. Aged very nicely. 90-91 pts.
