March 16, 2019 - Tasting this on its own it came off as a bit rustic and mature which was fine. With some pizza, I was shocked how well they both complemented each other. Funny how a simple wine can go so well with simple food.

January 19, 2014 - I had the pleasure of visiting their facility back in 08, and was impressed with care they take. We opened up this bottle for three hours and enjoying the powerful but easy tasting wine this matured into. Full body with a chocolate and sour cherry taste.
