September 30, 2023 - Dark and dense color. Aromas of blackcurrant jam. Sweet and jammy also on the palate. Maybe not a perfect bottle.
June 18, 2023 - Medium ruby color. Leather, cassis cocoa on the nose; Medium bodied ; smooth tannins with dark berry flavors: smooth and well balanced tasted much better after 2 hours of air time.
April 16, 2023 - Beautiful aromatics - smoky cigar box, bright red candy fruit, licorice. Full body, plush texture, great dark red fruit character, with hefty dose of vanilla and some spice. Leather on the finish. Excellent balance, with a great beaming minerality keeping this fresh. Elegant.
December 25, 2022 - Tasted more expensive than it was. Great value
July 23, 2022 - Excellent
July 21, 2022 - Very good value.
October 9, 2021 - Pretty good QPR.
September 10, 2021 - Lightly smoked red fruit and Tootsie Pop aromas show classic Rutherford dust. Plush, full bodied, and succulent, the palate offers generous amounts of fruit and complexity propped up by a well endowed backbone of structure. Nicely done.
August 24, 2021 - Opened for several hours and joined friends at NY Prime for a BV dinner. The nose is solid with oak and green notes. The color is deep ruby red and a very youthful wine. As I swirled it, the wine has deep dark berries, cassis, blackberry, toast notes, complex tannins, and I got some acidity that the other folks below didn't. That acidity complemented a steak and creamed spinach. IMHO, for the money, it's a stupid good deal.
August 2, 2021 - A very good wine but I think we drank it a bit too early as it was very tight and youthful. Believe that some more time in the bottle will help this get even better. Deep ruby red with taste of cherry and dark berries. No acidity but the tannins were so tight you can see they will only smooth out and get better with time. A Finish that was full but lacking for right now.
