    July 5, 2011 - Big and delicious Shiraz. Masquerades a bit; could be a cab on the nose and palate. Paired surprisingly well with tamales and black beans. Clear, deep, garnet color. Clean, deep intensity nose. Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cassis, smoke, stewed black fruits, cracked pepper. Full-bodied on the palate, with low acid and mild tannins that have softened with bottle age. Flavor notes are well-balanced and match the nose. Long finish. Drink this now. No reason to wait.

    April 4, 2007 - Real fruit bomb, tastes like blackcurrent cordial with smoky overtones, very big wine that probably needs food but would require somthing pretty robust to stand up to it
