  Dark inky black-red color in the glass, with pronounced legs, strong scent of cocoa, leather and tobacco, dark fruit flavors and a long smooth finish, amazing flavors!

  Sweet plum on the nose. Midpalate medium weight yet mouthcoating. Finish is smoky roasted plum, blackberry, blueberry, trim raspberry and vanilla on the finish. A baby version of Lewis Syrah!

  Sweet Caroline this was good. Hesitant to drink this due to its extreme tastiness, and is even better than in the winery last year. Thankfully heading back down there in a few weeks so can replenish the stocks.

  Updated 1/17. New bottle, same score. This wine has aged very well. Great nose, complex fruits and lingering finish.

  My kind of juice. Drinking before your lips even touch the glass. Chewy indeed! Lots of meat on the bones here. Pedal to the metal and don't look back. Killer juice
