March 5, 2022 - Good value. Strong notes of dark fruits. Opened for about an hour before dinner with no decant. One negative......it seemed to fade a little as the evening developed.

September 9, 2021 - Dark red color with limited transparency. Aromas of plum, smoke, blackberry, and a bit of roasted meat. Palate has a rustic, coarse tannin spine framed by plenty of plum, cherry, blackberry red/black fruit notes that carry into a medium-long finish that clamps down a bit with some more tannin. Really pleasant expression for the price point and very much pleased it was in my value case mixer. Drink over the next 7-10 years.

March 9, 2021 - The cornucopia of red and black fruits comes with underbrush, licorice, espresso and black with red cherries, Medium/full-bodied, fresh, supple and long, this is already showing well now and will get better with a bit more aging. Produced from 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc.

April 19, 2019 - Fruity, ripe, round and forward, the wine is loaded with sweet, black cherry, cocoa, licorice and espresso. You can enjoy this on release for all its ripe, juicy, round fruit. Produced from 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. 90-92 Pts
