  December 8, 2019 - Medium garnet red with bricking edges. Dark nose with dark cherries, graphite and gravel. Medium plus (6.5/10) and medium bodied. Not as much flavor on the palate with dark berries, minerality and forest floor. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2021.

  February 26, 2013 - For an inexpensive Napa blend this wine was surprisingly enjoyable after 12 years. A relatively good balance of fruit, tannins and earth, as well as a bit of acidity, allowed the wine to pair well with a simple pasta with red sause and seared beef. Not going to improve but a great value for the price.

  May 26, 2012 - Holding up well. Exceedingly long finish. Paired well with beef. Wished we had decanted longer.

  Ok blend by itself or with food (preferred).
  Good color holding up well for the year.
  Could use more weight.
