  Rather delightful: mimics the fruit–forward, spicy oak themes of a Napa Cabernet, but because of the cool climate it is dialled down substantially. And of course rather better value. Won’t be reloading, but will enjoy the remaining bottles. Ready to drink; won’t leave the others for long.

  Consumed over three nights. I think it is phenomenal though my wife feels it is a bit flat.

  PNP with roasted lamb with mint and rosemary. Very Yum. Drinking well now - still has nice ripe red and dark fruit plus herbal and earthy notes, a high level of complexity, and nice structure.

  Been in the cellar since June of 2013 when purchased after visiting the winery and it was the best wine tasted. Paired perfectly with a Sicilian beef stew we cooked up. No complaints and was excellent from first to last drop.
