Plum currant hint of dark cocoa. Elegant with tannins that grip slightly. Smooth and rich. Has evolved and is drinking beautifully now. Still many years left.

This is really one of my favorite Merlots at this price point. Plum, Black cherry, and rhubarb. Subtle spices that linger on the finish. Weight is medium and silky. Bright and soft tannins.

Just okay. It didnt wow me. I double decanted it and let it sit. Very low on complexity. Fruit forward but then fell off on the finish. Tasted a bit over extracted. Reminds me of a glorified Apothic. Not sure I would buy again... especially for the price.

Not a heavy zinfandel. Bright red fruit but not jammy. Tasted better with food than by itself. I cannot see this aging long term so drink it now. A good every day wine.

Plum and a bit of black fruit. A hint of green pepper and spice. A good solid wine, but maybe needs a bit more time to soften up.

Just an okay bottle of pinot. Nothing special about it.

Fruit bomb to the point of too much sweetness. Reminded me of Apothic Red. Nice nose but it was a tough wine to really enjoy. Strong red fruit that bordered on jammy. Green pepper on finish. Good party wine, but that's about it.

Had this last night. While it was a good wine it is a bit past it's prime. Cedar, spice, dark fruits, and some dried raisins.

Thin. Lots of green notes of thyme and green pepper. Not much fruit on the forefront but drinkable. Red cherry and currant but I wish there was more umph on it.
