  August 26, 2011 - Nice but it didn't have a lot of texture to it once it breathed. Overall a bit disappointing.

  March 14, 2010 - Lean on day one. Nose showed its age and not much fruit. Day two was much better and the rating is based on this day. Balanced, rich brambly fruit showing its' alexander valley pedigree. I would say drink up if you have some but give it some air.

  November 4, 2008 - After reading the other tasting notes, I was concerned this would be all bark and no bite. Thankfully, my experience was different.
  
  Cellared at 52 degrees since purchase, decanted, then enjoyed in Schott Zwiesel Enoteca throughout a 3 hour window.
  
  Deep ruby with hints of purple color. Cedar, cherry and plum on the nose. Nicely integrated flavor, good mouth feel, nice and smooth with long cherry/raspberry finish.
  
  Glad I have more bottles -- but time to drink.

  December 24, 2007 - Lighter than I recall from our sample at the winery. Good fruit and a wonderful nose but it had a hard time holding itself when up against the beef standing rib roast....
