Wow. Previous note nails it. Bought at retail in 2005 for $36.95 and this was a rock star. Plenty of fruit to go with the leather and depth of flavors present. I wish I had a case. Poured from the bottle with no decant. Sediment was all at the bottom of the bottle.

This is really beautiful. I wish I had bought more than this lone bottle from Costco so long ago. Noble and detailed aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, forest floor, licorice, and gun powder. Ripe complex fruit flavors with gorgeous earth, balance, and texture. The finish is long and engaging. A perfect California Bordeaux blend from my perspective.

This tasted better than I thought from earlier reviews. It’s tasting fantastic - still nicely structured with soft tannins. Dark fruit blue fruit Pronounced

Still really nice. Silky. Decanted for an hour or so, very little sediment. Didn't change or open up much from the initial glass, but very nice to drink.

A purchase from way back in the day. I probably bought this in 2005 from Wilburs. While it's not a massive wine, the elegance is profound.
Color. Dark red. No brick on the edge. Impressive.
Nose. Cherry candy, cinnamon, sweet something. Like artificial sweetener.
Palate. Sweet cherries, strawberry jam, cocoa. It's a very delicate wine, but the finish is long. 30 seconds plus.
