  May 10, 2014 - Really drinking well, the fruit has subsided with a little bit of bottle bouquet coming through. It Was awarded WOTN against two other wellington grenaches and 8-10 other domestic and international grenaches at a variety of price points. Peters wines are built to age and this really shows through in this bottling.

  November 6, 2010 - Popped and poured last night for some after dinner sipping. It was short on fruit, too much earth and leather for me. Finished the bottle with lunch today and the fruit was there in abundance. I only had one glass today, but it was superb. So the lesson learned is: DECANT!!!

  June 26, 2007 - I wasn't as fond of this wine as other reviewers. I found it to be too acidic. There were great fruit smells and tastes, but they were overpowered by the acidity and the wine finished too strong for me. Color was very nice. I would definitely decant this one or let it sit for a good 45 min. before consuming. That did seem to help calm down the initial pungency.

  May 18, 2007 - NC Vayniac Get Together (The Angus Barn-Raleigh, NC): Popped and poured. This wine exhibited a dark ruby/garnet color. On the nose, aromas of cherries, plum, and blackberries with hints of licorice and spice. At first, there was a good amount of heat from the nose that would eventually subside. On the palate, flavors of cherries, raspberries and blackberries were met with hints of herbs and earth. The finish was a bit short and the wine was a bit unbalanced-acidity wasn't balanced by the fruit and was a bit overbearing. HS87
