August 22, 2015 - Some tannin remains, and this is in a great place. Strawberries and herbs are everywhere with some nice hints of aged character. Brilliant.
March 27, 2015 - Pretty much the same as last time. Excellent; a Cali grenache with character. Very fresh, not even a hint of age. Don't believe the "Drink By" date!
November 10, 2013 - Kind of dirty magenta, like they didn't wash the grapes first. Strawberry planter, cherry cola, and spice nose. Medium bodied, raspberries, pepper, bright cherries, sage, well integrated tannins, a bit of smoke and heat, and a nice, medium to long finish. Good on day 1, but much better on day 2.
November 5, 2013 - PnP a big strawberry flavour and nose with almost a medicinal note to it. Earth and herbs in the background as well. Air should do this one well.
An hour or so later it's smoothed out a bit, but still retains a big herbaceous character both in the nose and palate. Interesting. Not as similar to the Eaglepoint Winery's version from 2007 as I'd expect. Give it another year and change to see how it evolves.
December 31, 2012 - Nicely balanced QPR, fresh crunchy red fruit and nice finish. The hint of smoke adds complexity
October 19, 2010 - A blend of 80% Grenache & 20% Syrah. http://tinyurl.com/2e7p2jk Bright, intense red fruit jumps out of the glass with hints of kirsch & sage. A bit racy for my tastes, but the wine is brooding underneath. Very nice.
