October 28, 2017 - Tasted this a year ago and it is still okay but a little less interesting after a year more of age. Very commercial red with decent structure, no flaws but not much personality either.

October 29, 2016 - Good everyday red, the downsides are not as much personalty or varietal characters as previous vintages and a little too much obvious oak chip addition, the upsides are a decent balance, not sweet, with a clean pleasant finish. Might age a bit but I would buy for the short term.

June 11, 2016 - Although labeled Cab/ Shiraz the mix is only 45% Cab and 55% Shiraz. Deep red in color and more expressive on second tasting
G which was a few days after opening. Still young in its maturity and will benefit with time. Firm tannins, dry, medium plus and enjoyable finish.
