Lean, silky soft mouth feel. Subtle tannins. Pepper and berries on the nose and palate with animal notes meandering around

Like this better than smith's 2010 cab. The blend has a more balanced creaminess to it. Easy drinking with just enough substance.

This is one of those "manly" wines that I don't quite get. The alcohol and tannins assault my mouth. Some nice flavors going on, but they're crying for help. I dunno. The insides of my cheeks are mad at me.

Good value. Easy drinking, but with a bit of classic rhone spunk. Animals and ripe, round fruit.

Scored for $10. One of the most beautiful wines for the price I've ever had. Earthy and animaly. Yum

Loved this. Beautiful sister wine to the last cote rotie I had. Tense but soft. Delicious game and pepper flavors build on the palate. I wanted more.

Heck yeah. Dirty, gamy, sexy bursts of flavor. Out drinks its price point

I liked this. Bright fruits but barnyard and earth on the nose, along with white pepper. Would def drink again

Good value and drinkable upon opening. Hints of pepper and olive. Balanced tannins.

Day 1: opened at room temp. Tannins and alcohol overpowered the flavors. Day 2: chilled slightly. MUCH Better. Pepper and fruit emerge, alcohol, and tannins settle to a nice balance.

Game and pepper on the nose and palate. Tastes unbalanced at first but opened up after 20 minutes. Awesome value and representation of the Rhone blend.

Velvety mouth feel, fruit flavors forthcoming but followed by hints of many other interesting things. Has a stony, minerality going on.
