Very well made wine, ready to drink. I get blueberries up front. I really enjoyed this wine. Jada wines keep getting better and better with each vintage.

Decanted for 2+ hours - during which the tannins softened nicely. Highly recommend standing this bad boy up for a day if possible. Unfiltered and could not get past the punt before sediment became too much. Typical highly extracted (15.9 ABV) Paso fruit-forward wine but with a solid backbone thanks to the Petit Vedot - as a result, my favorite of the Jada wines. Dark cherry on the nose, blueberry on the palate. IMO in a perfect place now with soft but noticeable tannins (post decant) and bright fruit. Still has a few more years if you insist and are the PnP type, but highly recommend breaking this out from storage sooner rather than later and enjoying over a long dinner after decanting.

Very nice red blend. Decanted 2 hours and had with grilled strip steak. Paired Well with steak. Dark purple in color with bright almost glowing pink hue on glass edge. Tannins and structure built for the long haul. Superb!

Dark inky purple, full bodied, dense, and creamy. Syrupy legs run down the sides of the glass.
Powerful aromas pour out of the bottle immediately. Blueberries, chocolate, coffee, mint.
On the palate, dark melted chocolate over blueberry pie, bananas, marshmallows, with caramel, mint, and pine.
Long finish, still very tannic and could be stored away for a few more years. Perfect with a steak on a snowy winter day.
60% Petite Verdot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot
15.9% alcohol
