  January 21, 2014 - Ripe, dry, one-dimensional. Tonight's experience consistent with my previous bottle.

  May 23, 2013 - This was really good on the third day which surprised me. But then again, it's the Maples. These folks know how to grow grapes. This is a rare exception from Bella. Don't be fooled. I still have two bottles of the 2007 maple they offered me when I could only buy one of 2008. And it was horrible. This was a nice surprise.

  October 16, 2012 - Dark garnet in color with notes of cedar, lavender, raspberry, and a hint of tobacco. Flavors of blueberry and herbs with a pretty long finish. Needed time to open for sure.

  April 8, 2012 - Raspberry, cherry cola, rhubarb, and some herbs on the nose. Very sweet aroma. In the mouth, it's not as sweet but with continued red fruit, cedar, and floral notes. Followed by a smooth finish.

  March 24, 2012 - 2 hours decanted Rhubarb, strawberry, and cedar on the nose. Stronger mid and back and flavors of strawberry and herbs finish this wine. Pairing with Babyback Ribs later.
