  Too much oak and a bit out of balance for me. Improves with air/time but still not quite put together. OK but there are much better wines at this price.

  Pleasant overall but a little too much oak for my taste and not as balanced as it should be. Medium body. Nice red fruit on the nose continues on the palate along with the oak and maybe a coffee note? Not many tannins evident.

  A nose of some dark fruit and some spice, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied GSM, with black cherry, raspberry, some pepper on finish, decent not great. www.winelx.com

  Double decant. Almost equally parts Grenache, syrah and Mourvedre. Red fruits from the yakima valley showing with loads of tart cherry. Peppery, savory notes. A Good value.
