What a treat to enjoy this wine 5 years after purchasing. When poured this wine showed a light brown reddish color with medium to long legs. To the nose & mouth hints of plum, along with mineral showed & after being decanted for an hour leather notes began to show itself. This wine finished off medium with little to tannins. A very enjoyable wine for the price.

Similar to past notes, with some improvement. While still bringing a lot of fruit, it is less pronounced now with clove, cinnamon, and bay leaf showing up. Still somewhat jammy and flabby, but enjoyable none the less.

Spicy and sharp. Somewhat like a Zinfandel. The only thing that keeps us from scoring it higher is that it lacks depth and complexity. Good with dark chocolate to bring out the spice.

Bold dark cherry nose. Palate is all dark fruit. Nice balance, good acidity. Good value.
