  Consumed over several days. Th wine got better on the 2nd day, and retained beautiful structure, finely grained tannins, and nicely balanced acidity. Very nice red berry fruit, alongside a streak of anise, and some light peppery spice. Definitely California, but very well done. Drink now through 2019 or so...I'd drink now.

  A pleasant medium bodied wine with spice and plum and pepper all coming into focus against a soft tannin. Even a hint of herb and floral in there. Pretty interesting for a single varietal rhone. Probably close to its peak right now.

  An elegant Grenache that brings together the best of New and Old World styles. Deep ruby purple with clinging legs and a perfumed nose of black cherries, lavender and forest during rainfall. A farmer's fruit stand of cherries, raspberries, peaches, watermelon rind, and dark pitted fruits, which carry over into the 30-second-plus finish, where it picks up green moss and cedar notes. Very elegant, and likely in its prime right now -- unless you're wanting to see if any more of the secondary notes come to the fore. Delicious!

  w big spare ribs from grill. Upon opening this was lightish red and had a cherry juice nose. After half hour in decanter it started smelling like wine. This was not very interesting, maybe disjointed? The alcohol was prevalent. Drink now or if you have just one bottle and you dont care, put it away another 5 yrs? Too bad, first mediocre wine i ever had from these guys.
