  Excellent Bordeaux blended red wine from the high elevation Rockpile AVA. 2011 was a difficult year but this bottle has aged well. After decanting for 1/2 hour before serving, the bouquet and first taste offered a robust plum and black currant fruit profile, even acidity throughout, soft tannans and a lingering finish with a hint of cocoa at the end. Each subsequent sip was even more satisfying. This wine could stay in the bottle a few more years but it is very drinkable now.

  Well balanced rich red fruit profile with a hint of cocoa on the finish. Excellent Bordeaux blend considering the difficulty with 2011 reds. Paired nicely with New York strip steak.

  Big, bold, black fruits with rich oak. Delicious with bold cheeses and i imagine with a big steak.

  Incredible. Inky deep color, full bodied, complex chocolate, tobacco accents.
