October 5, 2023 - Nothing too interesting here. Mediocre on the nose and palate. Drank on its' own over two nights, but might have been a bit better with food and/or with a little more time in the cellar.

February 8, 2023 - I liked this a lot. Great blend. Thick, rich garnet color. Great legs. Ample tannins. Perfect balance. Medium bodied. The more I drink it tonight the more I am enjoying it.

October 8, 2022 - A medium bodied blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Central flavors of black plums, blueberry and mulberry and notes of smoke and spices. Finishes with rich tannin presence and faint toasty notes. Needs air and food, or better yet waiting another year. The tannins began to soften after a couple hours of and then everything begins to come together. Day 2:
James Suckling gave it 93 points. An amazing value at $10 from Wine Slash mystery box. My scoring reflects full price not the $10 pricing from WS. -

June 26, 2022 - Another win from a Wine Slash mystery case. Smooth blend with moderate tannins. Vanilla, blue- & blackberry, bright cherry and spices. A crowd-pleaser for under $10.
