Amazingly good, far better than the others I've had. Inense, complex. Total surprise.

I was going to be kind and give this an 84 or 85 and then I tried it 4 days later. It was like an auslese that was pretty darn good. I was surprised. It had complexity, depth, and huge pear and stone frutiness. Beautiful and surprising. Open for 4 days before drinking, I guess!

Much improved vintage. Lots of round fruity merlot and spicy malbec- far better than prior vintages I've had of this. Carmenare usually is better but not this one. Great value.

Usually the better of their two reds but I think this year may be reversed. Spice, hot, but lacks a little flavor right now compared to the past.

Nice basic to very good riesling. Lots of pear and apple and pineapple. Well balanced.

Nice spice and grapefruity citrus but lacks a little acid for balance.

Deep, complex and flavorful. One of the most complex US rieslings I've had in awhile. Kabinett to spatlese sweetness but bigger and more depth than most.

Quaffing SB, cheap, ok.

Basic cheap PG. Good value.

Big but not too big. Frutiy but not too fruity. Intense but not fake. I really liked this one! Not over buttered or over oaked, just right.

Huge round fresh fruit flavors. Cherries predominate, big ripe and luscious ones. Very approachable for a young wine. Decanted 5-6 hours. Over night it did not change from yesterday. This is a rich, elegant merlot. The flavors were so ripe and full. Lingering finish. Well done, gave it a pointmore than the more closed Meritage for now. I expect great things from both wines!

Huge wine. Very young, closed. Decanted for 5-6 hours and it was still pretty tight. Over night opened it up. This s a very complex and well made wine. The dark fruit, especially blackberries, predominate. Tannins are not big and astringent, but the wine does need time to develop more. Licorice, spice, with a big mouthfeel. Lingering flavors. 91, should improve from that!

Aged and refined. Nice orange on the rim, still purple in the center. Big blackberry flavors, spice is nice. Intense yet refined. Good finish.

Now I'm liking this better. Big, spicy, intense. Dark berry fruit. Blackberry,. cinnamon spice.

Huge plummy jammy intense wine. Very fruity and nice.

Huge wine. The strawberry is almost gone but was replaced by a big dark fruitiness, deep spice, earth and maybe even leather and coffee. One of the best zins out there.

Intense earthy cherry fruit and dark flavors. Excellent wine. So refined.

Much more autere and les fruit bomb like than the 2007. More traditional port flavors and mouth feel. Still has the Arroyo PS flavors.

Flint, citrus, melon. More stoney flavors, less fruit that I remembered. Stlil great.

Really nice flavors of pears, a little apple and buttery chard. Interesting, full flavored, lot of depth and fruit. Very cool little wine!

Beautiful. Not over done yet not over simplified. Deep and dark, intense flavors, dark black fruits. So nice.
