Decanted 1 hr. ahead. Dark cherry color with a bit of rust. Nice nose of white pepper, tobacco, plums. Elegant on the palate, as the bottle age has enriched things. Cherries, copper, and cooked-fruit notes join in a pleasant texture. Nice finish, with a wave of spices ahead of light velvety tannins. A thoroughly respectable bottle with flavors toward the savory side. Four years of bottle age has helped it.

Nearly opaque violet color with aromatic briary, liquered mixed berry and white pepper aromas. On palate, it's full-bodied, fruity, intense, with a smooth mouthfeel, good acidity and ripe mixed berry, black cherry, black currant flavors. Med long finish. 40% Mourvèdre/25% Zinfandel/19% Syrah/16% Grenache. 14.3% alcohol. Production 640 cases

Interesting blend of 40% mourvedre , 25% zin, 19% syrah and 16% Grenache. Medium purple color, big black fruit (some red fruit) nose; rasberry, blackberry in mouth; nice finish, lingering fruit, 14.3% alc, 640 cases made. Even better after some aeration.
