April 28, 2020 - Medium to deep red color. Lots of chocolate on the back end of this, with black cherry and some graphite. Very different blend to have - some lagrein in their is different for sure. But a fun wine to rink, and we love the label

November 19, 2018 - 50 C.F./20 P.V./10 C.S./5 Merlot/5 Lagrein? Interesting blend indeed here. Red and black cherries and plums on the fruit profile. Big flavors of mocha, cocoa, sweet herbs, with some subtle floral and mineral notes. Soft tannins, nice acidity and finish.

October 15, 2016 - Very nice. Well balanced. Sometime I find the alcohol highly noticeable on a few of the Behrens wines, but this was quite well done. Plenty of fruit with good structure and acid to even everything out. Easy drinking juicy stuff!

April 14, 2016 - A blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 20% Petit Verdot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Sirah, 5% Lagrein, and 5% Merlot. Despite its youth it is drinking very well now, with smooth tannins and tons of forward fruit. Well balanced and well integrated. Plums, mocha java, pepper. Not a vin de grade, but very much a wine for drinking now with strongly flavored beef dishes.
