Dark purple color. Black currant, cherry & sage nose. Black cherry, black currant, plum and toast with robust tannins and a long lingering dusty finish.

Decanted for several hours. Color dark purple. Nose of oak and currants. Palate was full-bodied, balanced but not smooth. Still had slight tannins leading to a firm finish. Enjoyable and easy to drink. This could have aged much longer, but I was impatient. 50,5,13,16,7=91

This CA wine - a blend - is still drinking well. No formal notes.

Wine Watch Best of 2008 Tasting (Ft. Lauderdale, FL): I found this to be a great wine for the $22 it was offered at. Rich, dark fruit that was well balanced, had some depth and a long, smooth finish.
