  January 15, 2017 - I had expectations that weren't entirely realized, but this wasn't bad. The fruit was soft out of the bottle with a heavy Paso stew of rich plums and earth and clipped finish. Rounded out in a little with time to show it's Paso Mourvèdre backbone. Day 2 this thing is a little flabby but really showing its plummy, spicy, baked pie Mourvèdre core. The earthiness on the back palate isn't blending with the fruit forwardness, and maybe it could use more time to resolve the course finish.

  September 24, 2013 - Satiny, new-oak, MSG blend. Intoxicating, seductive nose of mixed dark fruits (black cherry, blackberry) grilled meat, vanilla and cocoa, with mourvedre dominating the blend. Plush mouth, echoing those aromas, with a finish of depth and amplitude and the addition of tempranillo seems to extend the finish with fine grain tannin and spice. While it lacks the herbal-garrigue notes of the southern Rhone, it's a showy beauty, really impressive now.

  October 18, 2012 - Excellent wine from Mark Adams. Dark berries, backbone with some meatiness and lots of other flavors i can't quite put my fingers on.

  August 31, 2012 - This was pretty much pop and pour. The wine is a deep, dark, ruby to purple color. This has an outstanding and expressive nose full of blackberries, smoked meat, black pepper, licorice, cherries, underbrush, dark chocolate, and some nice earthiness. The wine is fairly full bodied with solid, ripe tannins and nice acidity. There is nice fruit and spice up front on the palate with layers of additional fruit and savory notes adding tons of depth. There is a very nice, long, lingering finish full of fruit, spice, and earthy notes. This is still very young and will reward additional cellar time.
