  January 17, 2016 - We opened it up and decanted it for approx. 1/2 hour before tasting. The color was a dark ruby red with a bit if sediment. We both found hints of cherry,maybe nutmeg in the aroma. Very pleasant aroma. The first sips were light and fruity black cherry and a bit peppery. Very long dry finish with an aftertaste of cherry. After 1 hr. decanting the second glass the taste opened up to a wonderful very pronounced dark berry/blackberry taste. Tannins were in perfect balance with the acidity. This wine needed time decanted to be a great wine. On the American Wine Society scale we came up with a 14 out of 20. This is a drink now wine and must be decanted to get the full pleasure from it. Thumbs up!

  January 4, 2016 - Very pleasant, food friendly wine. Big red fruit accented with a hint of black pepper. Balanced acidity and smooth tannins. Lots of sediment. I'd say it is not going to get better from here.

  June 26, 2014 - The nose revealed aromas of mixed-fruit cobbler along with some attractive baking spices. The flavors began with black fruit that was dense and powerful. The wine was a little spicy and smoky before taking on ripe baking spices in the finish. The structure was evident as dry, wood tannins.
