Community Tasting Notes (average 86.6 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 14 notes) | |
| Tasted by cobystilp on 8/20/2010 & rated 91 points: So I only had two bottles of this wine. I drank the first one way too early. This bottle was actually awesome. It has aged into a mellow, round spicy cab. The tannins have smoothed out and are now silky. I get a lot of young cherry fruit on the underbrush. Just plain drinking great right now. A very good bottle of wine for the price. Would buy again. I lost some faith but have seen the value again. I will start buying the CH wines again. (97 views) | |
| Tasted by DebV on 1/2/2010 & rated 90 points: Decanted for 24 hrs plus. Delicious! (356 views) | |
| Tasted by Acohen on 4/26/2009 & rated 86 points: Fruit was nice at first but mellowed quickly. (632 views) | |
| Tasted by DanSm on 3/26/2009: Either the bottle was bad or....? Harsh and medicinal. I leave my other bottle in the cellar for four more years. (744 views) | |

| Tasted by Dillo on 9/10/2008 & rated 83 points: Despite having a deep opaque ruby color, and an appealing nose, this wine came across very thin. Aromas of black current, plum and spice are prominent, with some earth & black olive in the background. Surprisingly light body, decent acidity, but displays flavors more consistent with red fruit (almost chianti-esque) flavors and has a bitingly astringent green tannic finish. This wine is not at all flawed, but is just an ok effort. (830 views) | |
| Tasted by bahiadave on 6/23/2008: i think better than other reviewers. Not bad. (950 views) | |
| Tasted by payneclay on 4/8/2008 & rated 89 points: (834 views) | |
| Tasted by neurovino on 3/22/2008 & rated 79 points: I found this wine weak, a bit watery, and generally lacking in flavor. As compared to being subtle, it's just lacking. Not offensive. Just not remarkable in any way. (1184 views) | |
| Tasted by lagniappe on 2/11/2008: I would have to agree with the previous taster. I didn't drink this food so I feel like I was less pleased. I feel that this wine really needs to age. Cellar it and come back in a few years (1142 views) | |
| Tasted by cobystilp on 8/19/2007 & rated 87 points: No formal notes. Took on our vacation to Rockport and drank the first night with steaks on the grill. The wine could have had bottle shock. It is also a very young wine. I would encourage others to let it cellar and try in 6-12 months. I have one more bottle and will wait. I expected a little more. (1417 views) |
