March 17, 2013 - Just ok for me. Needs about 20 - 30 minutes to open up in glass. Fruit forward with some structure, but nothing stands out about it. Definitely better out there at this price point.
April 14, 2012 - Big and fruit forward. Long finish. Very different from, but my favorite of an '06 Twomey, '09 Plumpjack, '05 Lewis and an '08 Pahlmeyer.
February 11, 2012 - I thought this was WOTN at the K&L T-Vine tasting a couple weeks ago. It seemed quite aggressive for a Merlot with big chunky tannins, but it was enjoyable on its own.
May 14, 2011 - 2011 Bottle Shock Wine Party: Blind Tasteoff of Mature Bordeaux and Cali Cabs (Sandy & Michael's, Los Altos, California): Opaque purple red violet color; ripe, baked berry, plum nose; ripe berry, plum, baked berry palate; medium finish
April 2, 2011 - A very typical t-vine wine...which is a great thing. I can't say it is my favorite of theirs, but it is still beyond delicious. Not at all a typical merlot; high alcohol, big-juicy fruit, yet smooth, rich and long finishing.
