July 9, 2023 - Really good juice! Enticing nose, Lush black fruit, soft integrated tannins, well balanced with medium-long finish.

August 27, 2020 - Great, fresh dark fruits (plum, black cherry) with subtle leather/meat flavors on palate. Nice texture and spice with a clean, long, smooth finish.

June 5, 2019 - A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark purple in color. A full bodied kitchen sink red blend, with blackberry, black cherry, chocolate and spice on finish, needs a short decant. www.winelx.com
