  Very dark cherry color. Aromas and palate are sweet oak and ripe red fruit. Short finish. Definitely new world.

  Night and day from previous bottle which must have been flawed.
  This had an expressive nose with currant and cigar box. Nicely balanced tannins with fruit. Minimal acidity. Enjoyable.

  Unimpressive. Had it with Indian food at Sakoon. No nose whatsoever. Tastes flat without any fruit, acid or tannins. Wondering if it was a flawed bottle.

  Well made 85% cab 15% malbec. First tasted this in March 2010 at the winery. Definitely getting softer in texture but still rich and balanced with dark berry fruit, subtle spice and moderate tannins. Tastes beautiful now and seems to have a good two years of life left. Regional double gold medal winner.
