Did I wait too long to have this ... probably. Still, the color has no 'brickish red' tinge to it. The nose was still quite active with dark fruit. On the palate, although not a 'fresh oomph', there was still nice mellow dark fruit. Tannins and acidity subdued. Still, a joy to drink.

I visited the winery (not the tasting room) years ago. It was a great time and I’ve always enjoyed Trilogy. I decided to buy a few of their reserve wines and they’ve been in my cellar for a while. Cork in perfect condition. I was disappointed with the lack of fruit and depth in this wine. 2008 was rated 94T by Parker. I wouldn’t recommend this wine. Maybe just too old.

Excellent wine; very unique. From the second you smell it you will know you're drinking quality. Really turned into something different around 60 minutes in the bottle. Very good wine that I think will age well- I will try again in 2-3 years. I could have been convinced this was a Cab Franc based on taste profile. Great wine and glad we picked this one up- we have one more and will be holding until 2015+.

Tannins are hard has nails, too young. Strong eucalyptus & cedar. Dark and rich, but hard to taste the fruit below the tannin.
