December 22, 2018 - Boysenberry, rosemary and rare steak/iron nose. Palate of pomegranate, herbs de Provence, light tar. Drinking really well now, no decant needed, but also not over the age yet.
April 10, 2016 - Fairly simple, not as complex as some of their other wines. Good fruit and balance
April 8, 2016 - From memory the next day. Not decanted and was ready to go right away. Currant, blackberry, pepper and tobacco notes. Deep, structured, complex and complete. Not much more I could ask of this.
March 19, 2016 - Needs about an hour to be decanted
November 5, 2015 - A big rich wine with great flavors of dark fruit, vanilla, and spice. Decanted for 2 hours and got better as it went. Declined some the second day, however.
November 30, 2014 - A nice bordeaux blend that is a blend of 42% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Petite Sirah.
Gave this a couple of hour decant. Smooth tannins with black cherry, vanilla and spice. Good acid balance.
Nice wine for the money. Glad I have a couple of more bottles to try when they have some more age.
July 30, 2014 - Lovely wine. And, decant for 4 hours: tight, somewhat acidic before then.
July 4, 2014 - This bottle needs to be decanted for at least 2 hours. Dramatically improved 90 minutes in
February 5, 2014 - Decanted through an aerator 4 hours prior to tasting. A pretty bottle, bordeaux a la femme, curvy, luscious, but very much in control. A whiff of cedary perfume.
August 25, 2013 - very nice, decanted for 4 hours
