Popped and poured. Mistake! Took an hour to open up. Very dense color. Brooding. Black fruits and very heavy in on the palate. Smooth but way too much oak for me. It ruined a nicely made wine. Was OK with pizza.

Beautiful deep, red color. Cedar, dirt and smoke on an extremely inviting nose. Smooth, medium finish, with some pepper at the end. Had with a shrimp, artichoke and mushroom pasta sauce, and it couldn't have complimented it any better. Will have to try and find more of this - what a value!

Fully mature, but good fruit. Tannins seemed fully resolved. I think it'll be good drinking for the next five years.

Inky in color. Although I think it was a little past it's prime, it was still tasty. Red cherry and earth on the mouth with heat.
