June 26, 2008 - The heat has dissipated a bit since last time but the oak was much more prominent than I remembered. Still a nice earthy fruity easy drinking wine.

February 12, 2008 - Bit of heat upon opening that goes away after sitting open for a little while. Not too complex but nice fruit mixed with a little earthiness. Would buy again.

October 6, 2007 - Lighter color; nose was nice, but the flavor was a little thin and slightly suggestive of cough syrup. Pretty hot, too.
