Dark garnet in color, this blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, opens with notes of violets, huckleberry, anise & dark cocoa. The palate follows with rich velveteen layers of blueberry, dark cherry, notes of caramel and a hint of cedar. This is a full-bodied wine with balanced acidity that will age well for 4-6 years.

Golden honey hues. Tropical aromas with a touch of mango follow with intense layers of honeydew melon, green apple and Meyer lemon on the palate. A medium bodied blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay & Malvasia Bianca.

Deep violet, nearly opaque in color. Opens with floral and dark plum notes. Follows with layers of dark fruits. Lingering finish ends with a touch of bright acidity.

Absolutely decadent. Love this wine. Chocolaty and leather. Very nice. Nicely balanced still fruity , smooth and velvety.

Some hints of chocolate and dark brambly fruit on the nose. Fruit forward and a nice finish. The finish isn't long, but it does linger. The color is very dark for a Pinot. Very well balanced. I'm enjoying this wine very much.

Fabulous wine, continued opening up all evening. Would easily cellar and age beautifully for at least another five years.

I like this wine, but it seems to have some chardonnay characteristics, definitely not what I would pick out for a Sauvignon Blanc.

4/25/2014 - winedrinker101 Does not like this wine:

This wine was terrible. Took to a wine get together and all six agreed that it was bad and bottle was quickly dumped. AVOID. Purchased at Costco to try. Bad Decision.

Cork was disintegrating upon opening. Dark, inky color. Not much fruit on opening. An hour later and wine kept evolving. Notes of chocolate, leather and plum. Later turned into Cherry and chocolate. Still fabulous at 15 years.
