February 18, 2020 - Solid. A core of anise infused black cherry and scorched earth. Medium bodied, the wine is a nice balance of fruit, medium refreshing acidity and mild tannins.

March 25, 2010 - The nose is subdued. mostly dry earth smell. The color, a deep garnet, clear, pretty. The taste is vegetal to the point where it gets in the way of the fruit. A nice dry finish, not bad, will try with food later

March 7, 2008 - Dark color with nose of plum and raisins. Big and soft. Slight tannins. Cherry and plum flavors with hint of oak & vanilla. Not super complex but good.
