January 30, 2012 - A full bodied, well balanced wine with flavors of black cherries, plums, dark chocolate and baking spices on the long smooth finish. Excellent!

April 27, 2011 - I detected a strong scent of black cherries on the nose. It was a full bodied wine with black cherries and blueberry overtones. It had a long finish with hints of cinnamon and chocolate.
