May 8, 2022 - Actually like Spellbinder as much or more than this. Still a good BDX blend and value
March 31, 2020 - Always a great go to red blend!
September 24, 2019 - Easy drinker, not a lot of complexity but still enjoyable
August 18, 2019 - Great fruit and blend but lacking finesse on finish. Needs time.
June 19, 2019 - Sleight of Hand Tasting Walla Walla (Walla Walla): 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 Cabernet Franc, 21% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot
Underbrush, spice, dark fruits, olives and black licorice. Solid and medium plus finish.
December 26, 2018 - Other comments described this wine well. It was tight straight out of the bottle and probably should lay down for a couple more years but it opened up nicely thru the Vinituri. I’d definitely buy this wine again.
December 25, 2018 - A fun, flamboyant, and fruity wine, ripe currants and blackberries with a little spice and a little savoriness and very easy to drink, the bottle disappeared pretty quickly.
September 17, 2018 - Black plum, cherry, a little earthy spice, and a bit of cocoa powder on the end. Went really well with the flat iron steak at Noble Rot in Portland.
August 11, 2018 - A friend and I tasted this at the SoDo tasting room on 8/11/18. It had a rich, spicy bouquet of black cherry, black currant, mocha, cocoa, clove, cardamon, spice and mineral aromas. The palate was rich, elegant and slightly medicinal with flavors that followed the nose.
