Well-rounded wine. Good acidity with flavours of tobacco and cherry. Could have another 5-6 years of life in it but definitely not too young. Not much tannins left. Bought direct from the producer in 2008 and very happy with the purchase.

Simple, tough, and unfriendly. Zero pleasure in this. Easily has 10-15 yrs left but not sure there is any quality or complex material here to make it worth it.

Ate at Saluga with family. Very dry with subtle dark fruit. Much more subdued than the previous bottle some 5 years ago or so which was more in your face and zinfandel/petit syrah like. Tonight there were mixed reviews with some liking it a lot and others not so much.

Sweet fruit with good concentration and focus, and overal wine structure. Full body. Still noticeable tannin. Medium long length and pleasant finish.

Dark fruit with dry hay and earth, very tannic a dry finish. Food wine all the way. Big on the palate with long and dry finish.
