  Consistent, lively tastes of rasberry, cranberry and cherry. Drank over 2 days. Day 2 was as good as day 1. Bottle aged well.

  Too tart for my taste. Not enough fruit

  Our last bottle of this wine was flawed, tasted as if it was cooked. This bottle, from the same shipment, was in perfect condition and drinking excellent. Had great balanced flavors and a wonderful finish. It went perfectly with our turkey vegetable soup, made with homemade turkey bone broth, as well as the cranberry muffins.

  I'm glad I waited on this bottle, which was in a club shipment five years ago. I only wish I had more. This is in a good place now, drinking like a CdP Grenache(-driven) wine with age on it. So warm and inviting with spices, it still shows the bright berry red fruit, but now with some caramelized and roasted notes. This has real fullness and understated power and is very pure.
  
  We had this on its own and with modestly-spiced grilled chicken, but you could have this with a hearty stew with red wine sauce. This would be a great wine to have by the fireplace.

  Unfortunately, this 2013 bottle was bad. It had a very bad syrupy taste, and not in a good was. The wine had significant bricking in it's color beyond what a 2013 should have. TCV vintage chart says this wine should still be drinking youthful. We had to dump this after a couple of sips - too bad.
