Aware of the recent CT ratings, I approached this last bottle from a 2005 purchase at Ferry Plaza with some caution. Obviously, no decanting needed (except for retaining the sediment in the bottle rather than the glass). Definitely peaked but not declining yet. Still fruit and acid ahead of some tawny port undertones. Structure is holding up. Paired with Chinese BBQ Pork and Chipotle-infused rice and corn pilaf. Very enjoyable. Not bad at all for a nine-year old wine and first commerical attempt out of the gate for MM's take on Larner Vineyard fruit.

Had one bottle a few months ago and was excited to find 2 more bottles available for purchase. Was looking forward to a really nice bottle this pm. Both bottles were bad!!

A delicious wine that is concentrated and full flavored, yet is also structured and elegant. It is a deep purple color, with aromas of plum, cherry, and raw beef. The wine is intense, with complex flavors of sweet cherry, pomegranate, and chocolate. The structure comes from the acidity. We paired with a spicy roast chicken and couscous.
