  July 8, 2013 - Still holding up well with similar favorable impressions as prior tasting notes, unfortunately it was the last vestige of a great buy some years ago...

  October 13, 2012 - Continues to hold up well and be a very comfortable drinker on a quiet evening at home, has good depth and personality but you don't need to pair it with a hearty meal to enjoy...

  June 15, 2012 - As previous bottles, a solid enjoyable cab-syrah blend from napa. Although not a big fan of clarets, this is made with above average cab and syrah making it worthwhile.

  November 7, 2011 - Still drinking very nicely (which is great news since I just bought a couple more bottles) and consistent with my prior notes including one from two years ago stating "Excellent way to start a red wine evening. Rich red fruit with good balance and decent backbone. Good combo for an attractive price." This go around I would add that a fun cherry cola flavor dimension really hit me...
