  February 22, 2019 - Chocolate covered cherry nose. Toasted coffee flavor. Nice long finish. The wine has held up nicely at age 14.

  May 8, 2010 - I loved the color, a nice inky purple, a little sediment caught in the filter. Decanted 20 minutes. 2005 Columbia valley fruit was spectacular, and this wine shows it. This wine reminded me of a pretty girl who wears just the right amount of makeup. You know the deal, she doesn't really need makeup at all because she's so pretty, but too much and she'd look artificial... her foundation of tannins was nice structure, softened by decanting, and her eyes are enhanced with notes of vanilla and cocoa, with some carmelized and blackened spices. Maybe a little underbrush/sage, reminding me of Red Mountain. But the natural beauty of the pretty fruit shines through in the end, finishing wonderfully. It complimented the T-Bone steak perfectly. If I can find more I will buy again (I saw a large format at the store, I'm going to capture it and imprison it in my cellar for a future purpose.

  January 29, 2010 - Big nose bursting with fruit delivers what it promises. Pleasant feel in the mouth makes you want to swish it around awhile and take in the dark fruit and chocolate and cherry flavors. Started to cloud up a little toward the end of the bottle.

  January 16, 2010 - Popped and poured on 1/15. Aromas of raspberry, blackberry and dark chocolate. A full bodied blendl 40% cab, 26% merlot & 28% cab franc along w/a dash 3% petit verdot and 3% syrah. Day 2: Developing a ripe plum flavor, not as good as day 1. Drink up, don't see this getting any better.
