  October 5, 2015 - What a great Sonoma blend. It still has dark berries and light oak mixed with acidity. On the second night it smoothed out and the fruit was fabulous. Great QPR, drink over next 2-3 years.

  August 13, 2014 - Not a bad wine for the price. Pronounced nose. Not as deep as more expensive Napa Valley red varietals but pretty well balanced to get an appreciation of the cabernet and merlot grapes. Somewhat leathery and meaty with hints of tobacco and black fruit. Opened at about 68 degrees and drank a little later at a slightly less temperature. Funny for me to say this but I recommend it at the higher temperature. Cheers.

  August 25, 2013 - Drank it on the beach, in fog and mist, out of a plastic glass made from corn products. Perfectly enjoyable without much to make it stand out -- like one of those frustratingly bland "tasting note assistant" notes -- the nose was medium, the color was medium, the taste was middle weight, the length of the taste was medium, like that. Totally fine for the price and totally fine for a beach bbq.

  May 26, 2013 - Difficult to drink. Reminds me of a typical house wine. Sour tannins accompanied by a dolop of corn syrup. I really tried to find redeeming qualities on this wine and found none.
