  May 12, 2012 - - Crimsom color - Very nice blend of Shiraz and Merlot, good acidity, smooth on mid-palatte, structure fair but not great and little tannins if at all. All in all very smooth, easy drinking, pleasant surprise.

  September 30, 2007 - The Syrah lends aromas of blueberry, violets and earth to this well-structured blend, while Merlot contributes black cherry and cassis to the mid-palate; soft tannins and flavors of plum, oak and chocolate round out the finish.

  September 3, 2007 - drank a bottle with pizza and cigars with the boys playing pool. good accompaniment for that setting. smooth and pleasant, but not a wine to make the showpiece of the evening.

  July 11, 2006 - Wasn't as pleased with this as I expected. The syrah component was very strong for me. But while there was good fruit, I found this wine rather angular. There was no softness or lushness to the wine.
