Medium ruby red. A bit mute to start on the nose with some dark red berries, dark spices, and a little herbal. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Well rounded palate with mulberries, baking spices, cherries, a little herbal and some minerality. Medium plus length finish. Drink till 2020.

PnP, followed over 2 hours. Great nose of fruit and subtle oak/vanilla. Medium+ weight on the palate with red fruit and chocolate plus a little vegetal note, which I liked. Smooth with the perfect amount of tannin. 30 second finish. This is ready right now and will be prime drinking for probably 3-5 years. OK value at $70....wish it was slightly cheaper, but I suppose I could say that about a lot of wines. An under-the-radar producer on Spring Mountain.
90 points; purchased directly from the winery for $70 in March 2013

I agree with acordell. This is drinking very well right now. An hour decant and this was singing. No detailed notes as this was consumed a week ago on "Cabernet Day"

Drinking beautifully now. Tannins are fully integrated and still lots of complex fruit and complex flavors.
