August 1, 2014 - Garnet color. The bouquet is initially very strange- butter and squash notes, turning to asparagus with red fruit lurking underneath. Medium-bodied with a bit of red fruit but also very weedy and vegetal. I guessed old Cab Franc.

July 8, 2014 - Well mannered, no rough edges. Very drinkable. A nice, safe merlot.

November 21, 2012 - No nose and tasted flat. After an hour, it opened up a bit, but still a disappointment.

Thin on body, structure and complexity. Like drinking cool aide without the sugar. -
