  February 22, 2020 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blueberry. It tastes like strawberry jam and plum. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  July 21, 2015 - This bottle was average and lacking fruit, I think it has peaked. If you have a few in the cellar, you might try a bottle soon.

  November 16, 2014 - Soft textures are balanced by fresh acidity on this deep ruby Merlot. Black raspberries, cocoa, cinnamon and orange peel are found on the nose and palate, in a medium-bodied, softly tannic frame. The wine's alcohol (listed as 13.8%) is nicely integrated, but the flavors struggle to hang on in the middle. Although the finish is a bit truncated, this is an easy-drinker for newbies to red wine (the context in which it was tasted). It should be at its best over the next five years. Drink now-2019.

  August 14, 2014 - Light nose, the first flavors to hit are green pepper, red raspberry, oak and a finish that reminds me of pomegranate. I've much preferred the 09/10 vintages. Still very drinkable, just not as engaging.
