Really nice but not spectacular. This wine likely had more body a few years back. Very pleasant nose, some fruit, and towards the end of the bottle some lingering finish. Not a ton of body left and you’re not getting any of the “Rutherford dust” but it’s a nice drink. Drink it now if it’s still sitting in your cellar.

Mild nose. Dark ruby red color. Good balance of tannins. Soft mouth feel. Medium finish. Inventory shows I have 2 more bottles but I can't find them. Damn. Very good for a $20 wine

Decanted two hours; moderate sediment. Deep ruby color. Dark fruit and smoke on the nose. Mouth-filling, ripe and jammy, dark fruit flavors, nicely structured by acids and tannins. Medium-to-long fruit-focused finish. Should still be drinking well for another couple of years. At under $25, a great QPR.

Credible wine for a small group Christmas prime rib dinner. Deep purple color, spicy and chocolatey finish.
