Last bottle, havent had it in a few years. 2012 was their best vintage by far. This is showing some nice secondary flavours now, throwing a bit of sediment, tannins mostly melted away. Medium bodied. Really impressed with this wine given the price. Punches way above its weight. If I had a few I'd save some as an experiment, otherwise drink up!

Decadent with a honey garlic short ribs. Excellent pairing. Dark colors, fruity nose. Softened tannins after decanting for an hour. A little acidic with a medium length finish. The body could have used a little bit more structure. Definitely enjoyed it and will leave the others to rest in the cellar for a while longer.

Palate has cassis, tobacco, barrel spice, maybe some fig. Meaty. Fruit forward, but not terribly so. Good body and balance. Don't confuse this with a simple wine. Short to medium finish.
We got this as a gift and are very pleased.

Deep purple color. Nose full of fruit. Medium bodied. Well balanced, mild tannins with good structure. Oak, and casis.

Nice wine, balanced, medium framed, dry, the Cab Franc and Petite Verdot add some complexity. Made by Signorello.

Nice nose of fruit and menthol.
