Community Tasting Notes (average 88.5 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 6 notes) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 12/4/2009 & rated 88 points: Ext dk color - purple. Very soft tannins. Lots of fruit but overall lacked much interest, intensity, and focus. ok finish. Not worth buying more. (310 views) | |
| Tasted by Redguy on 11/25/2009 & rated 88 points: Very young but came together with a couple of hours air time. Nice mouthfeel, good fruit but can it outlive those tannins? I suspect it can. Good wine with potential. (310 views) | |

| Tasted by Anonymous on 10/23/2009 & rated 89 points: Clean and Earthy nose with some Bordeaux fruit. This one is 40% Petit Verdot, to me Petit Verdot is more about mouthfeel than flavor and this is certainly the case here. Acid seems soft and the tannin is there but not offensive. A very restrained wine with gravel, subtle fruits and a hint of sweet blackberry in the finish. Food does bring out the fruit on this and maybe some cedar. A little time open and an increase in temperature and a ripe cherry fruit does show but the restraint is still there. Simple and straightforward but very well done. (571 views) | |
| Tasted by SacramentoCharlie on 11/6/2008 & rated 90 points: 40% Petit Verdot, 31% Merlot, 29% Cab Sauv...Very dark almost inky color. 1 1/2 hr air time in the glass and nose was still a little tight with only hints of dark cherry, ash/smoke and licorice. Not overly complex on the palate but good medium body with solid structure. This wine finishes very well with very firm tannins and some suprisingly good length that makes this a winner. This baby needs time to shine but all the components are here for this to be very good in a few years. (877 views) | |
