May 2, 2020 - Medium ruby. Berries and slate on the nose. The wine is light-to-medium bodied and dry. The palate features juicy flavors of raspberry, blackberry, plum, dark cherry, and boysenberry. Secondary notes of tobacco, earth, and pepper. Well balanced and still quite drinkable for a 2013. Fantastic QPR with every vintage.

March 30, 2017 - From a demi. Deep purple, classic nose of a good CDR-village, without any French funk. Not as rich as previous years, but equally delicious. Nice balance of fruit, acid, and tannin. On second night, mellowed substantially to almost an old Bordeaux texture. This is one of the great weeknight bottles to keep around in volume.
