December 26, 2019 - From magnum with some friends. Poured a little off for an initial taste and then let it slow ox for a couple of hours with no decant. For an inexpensive wine this has held up remarkably well over the years. See comments below: light but typical CDR flavors, well integrated tannins and overall an enjoyable experience. Agree it’s time to drink up!

March 25, 2017 - From magnum. Audoze for several hours before enjoying with charcuterie. ANDEREGG nails the tasting notes below. Soft, fleshy wine with singed underbrush, blueberry, boysenberry, and plum aromas and flavors. An acidic cranberry juice aroma keeps things lively. Almost no tannic structure remaining on the palate. Easy drinking juice, but drink up soon! "Very good," 88/100.

January 30, 2017 - PnP and let sit in the glass for about 15 minutes. Color is garnet with a bit of fade at the edge. A bit of volatile blow off. Blueberry, blackberry, plum aromas. Smooth, dark fruit, warm, slightly sweet with well-integrated tannin on the palate. Quite delicious. Soft acid and tannin indicate that my bottles of this wine have fully matured or a little bit past. Drinking with dinner of chicken and sausage cassoulet and sauteed kale with roasted tomatoes and a cheese plate with English, chive cheddar and a truffle gouda.

August 20, 2016 - About the same as a bottle a couple months ago, but it's starting to fade. Still has an excellent finish for a wine in this price range, but it's time to drink up.
