  March 24, 2015 - I liked this wine a year ago and I like it more now. On opening, it had a really odd, off-putting wet basement smell. I thought something might be wrong with my glass so I switched glasses. It wasn't the glass. But the wine itself was fine. After about 30 minutes the icky smell disappeared. At that point, the wine was beautiful - bright red, sweet strawberry/cherry fruits, enough acid to carry and a finish that was dusty, spicy-tart and long. Very nice wine - better value.

  November 3, 2014 - Lightweight perfume strawberry, nose subtle, muted. Good bit of mushroom earthiness. Balanced. Enjoyable and interesting bottle for the price.

  October 28, 2014 - Like the old school goal and low 13% ALC but this left me not wanting another btl. This is a bit funky, earthy, with some cinnamon, blackberry and earthy flavors. Can't put my finger on it but the particular combination of flavors just didn't appeal. PNP into a Oregon PN glass. Like the nose better than the palate. At $18 I was hoping to love this as a potential "go to" week night PN. I'll try another vintage someday.

  October 20, 2014 - Off the list at The Modern. Light in color. after 20 minutes, the wine opened to wonderful light bodied, elegant red fruit. Nice balance. Excellent value at sub $25 retail.

  October 11, 2014 - Garnet stone color. This boasts aromas of cola, lavender, spice and rhubarb pie. This has some flattering oak on a polished opening. I was immediately impressed. I've had this producer recommended to me several times and I now see why. The flavor profile echoes the cola, tart rhubarb and spice and has a tendril of fresh strawberry interwoven through the whole. Juicy and round with a resonating finish. I drink a lot of great wine, but this stands out. 92
