  October 24, 2012 - Dark red core, no lightening at rim. Bright cherry and spicy oak on the nose. Medium body, sweet cherry, blackberry and oak on the palate, decent balance, moderate tannins and a bit of alcohol poke through on the back palate, medium finish. Not complex or mind-blowing but a nice QPR at $12, and the sweet fruit would probably be a crowd pleaser for most groups, reminiscent of an inexpensive by-the-glass selection. Will likely hold up nicely for 3-5 years. Very good.

  August 27, 2012 - Similar to our last bottle.Cherry from the granache mixes with blackberry from the syrah. There's a fair amount of oak that provides some midpalate spiciness but also a little roughness, and the tannins haven't smoothed out yet. Good for the price but could use some time.

  June 16, 2012 - Young, but with some time it opens up very nicely, dark fruits, not jammy, nice finish with complex notes. At this price, very good.
