March 19, 2022 - Nose: jammy dark fruit
Taste: very smooth, light tannins, long finish of boysenberries, blackberries, minerals. I like it.
December 22, 2020 - My last of 3 bottles, liked each one a little less than the previous but a good value at $30 USD. 69% CS, 23% Merlot, 4%Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot. Black plum, cassis, tobacco, cedar, smoke. Bold wine, would pair nicely with a steak.
September 3, 2020 - Enjoyable California Bordeaux style wine. Blackberry, plum, cassis, oak, tobacco, and mocha. Day 1 was a little flabby and came together on day 2.
July 3, 2020 - A "magnificantly" crafted & structured bordeaux blend that is approaching its drinking prime time. Elegant and refined the wine offered a vibrant crimson red color, rich dark fruits with a nicely subtle tannins finish. Full bodied and smooth, this wine can only get better for the next 2-3 years.
June 19, 2020 - Interesting blend. Not sweet at all
August 6, 2019 - Blackberry, cocoa, black fruit in general. Lots of oak driven notes on the nose, with coffee and mocha. This wine felt a bit flabby and imprecise to me, maybe one to hold to see how it develops -- but currently it felt sort of loose.
