Intensely rich and fruity. Very dense purple color. Quite oaky and a lot of vanilla, but arguably in balance when there is so much fruit.

Dark fruit cassis, soft texture.

Dominated by dark fruit, cassis, etc. A little black olive if you use your imagination. Tannins are ripe and smooth, medium structure overall – enough to keep your mouth happy, but not make you pucker. Well done. Great value!

Blueberry cobbler. Lots of vanilla and butter. It’s delicious.

Lots of cherry. Tannins and acid are quite “hello!” but not out of balance. Just a little black olive and damp cellar.

Drinking really well now. The structural components really dance around in your mouth , and the fruit is bright and fresh as ever.

This is really a fantastic value. Drinks like a $30 Merlot. Nice red fruit, mainly cherry. Some green notes and structure that makes me wonder if there's some Cab Sauv/Franc in the blend.

First and foremost, this wine is just delicious. Enjoy it. Dark cherries on nose, a touch of pine tar, some vanilla and oak on palate.

Well this is just delicious. Lots of strawberry and raspberry compote, some vanilla, and quite a bit of structure to calm you people down.

Really blackcurrant driven. Still fairly wound up, although enjoyable now. Plenty of years to open up.

Black currant, black cherry, seasoned oak, plenty of smooth tannins.

Dark cherries, a touch of blackcurrant, soft, nice polish but has plenty of structure.

2/12/2022 - jeremy_ross wrote:

Still a lot of tannins. Dark fruit, licorice, cassis, tobacco.

2/9/2022 - jeremy_ross wrote:

Nice black fruit, black current, olive, a hint of dill pickle, silky, lovely vanilla oak. Body is a little thin. With better structure this wine would murder.

Honeysuckle, perfume, some toasty oak.

What I wish my typical $100 Bordeaux purchase tasted like. Has some musty cellar on nose. Rich, tart fruit on palate. Some dark fruit too, maybe black currant. Plenty of structure for you structure whores.

Tart green apples, gooseberry, touch of vanilla and butter, perfume. Medium weight, fairly round, finishes with some nice acidity. Outstanding value.

Dried cherries, touch of leather. Finishes a little flabby.

1/6/2022 - jeremy_ross Likes this wine:

Generous noise of dark berries, vanilla and black pepper. Quite dry on palate. The rich fruit from the nose doesn’t quite make it this far, but finishes nice with a berry cobbler thing.

1/5/2022 - jeremy_ross wrote:

It is inky, with a good dose of that Napa black currant and black olive. But this wine falls short in the structure department. It’s just flabby and boring. Keeps it sub 90 points for me.

Showing its age, but still a very beautiful wine. Lots of that deep, dark fruit coming though.

Definitely past its prime, but still has a decent amount of fruit. Drink it if you got it.

Bright red fruit, bright acid, fairly grippy. Touch of olive on finish.

Pretty intense structure for age and price point. Some mossy cellar rock, dark, red fruit. Again, nice acidity and grippy tannins still. I’d recommend giving this some air time.

6/30/2021 - jeremy_ross Likes this wine:

Tastes like Napa. Dark red fruit, cassis, touch of herbs, graphite. Wish I had more bottles. What a value!

6/30/2021 - jeremy_ross Likes this wine:

Fresh cherries and some licorice on nose. Bright red fruit, zippy acid, touch of funky stone, very drying on palate.

Fruit forward, bright fruit, wild red berries, a little mossy rock.

Touch of salty sea mist on nose, plum orchards, shellfish, strawberry, blueberry

6/18/2021 - jeremy_ross wrote:

Olives and burnt honey on nose. Still has solid acid and grippy tannins. The fruit is intense, a little honeyed and oxidized.

6/18/2021 - jeremy_ross Likes this wine:

Great nose still. Tropical fruit, smell of river rocks. More viscous than expected. Not as lively at this point, a little oxidized. Still enjoyable.

Floral nose. Fairly generous fruit, moderate acidity.

6/6/2013 - jeremy_ross Does not like this wine:

Nose is dominated by a Twizzlers / licorice aroma. It tastes like a mix of garbage and licorice. Just awkward. The finish length is decent, but I'd like this wine to have as short a finish as possible.

6/6/2013 - jeremy_ross Likes this wine:

Nose has tropical fruit and honey on nose. Medium body on palate, with strong, crisp acidity. Tropical fruit and green apple flavors. Not much oak detectable. This no flabber. Finishes dry, with tart fruit.

1/19/2013 - jeremy_ross Likes this wine:

Huge nose of ripe berries. Bold attack on front of palate, lots of berries, with wet stone, a little funk, moderate tannins, a little oak. Nice structure overall. Finishes fairly long with cherries.

1/1/2013 - jeremy_ross Likes this wine:

Beautiful flavor profile consisting of wild berries, flowers and melon. Well balanced overall, with fine tannins and a fairly lengthy finish.
