August 5, 2015 - Dark Crimson with red hue, coats the glass. Leathery aroma. Plum, pepper and Cassis. An angular wine with Medium body. Medium tannin. Goes well with good but not overly smooth.

October 31, 2012 - I entirely agree with RPerro's review. A solid beam of red cherry that I imagine would have been much more in-your-face a few years ago, along with earthy secondary notes. Pleasant to drink but I'm guessing that it doesn't have much life left.

October 19, 2012 - Popped at the office. Nice cherry fruit, decently structured, with solid secondary flavors of earth and tobacco. For $5 at Grocery Outlet, a steal for a mid-week pour, or party wine.

June 19, 2012 - I was excited because our Grocery Outlet got this in and it scored high. Unfortunately the bottle I had appeared to be beyond shelf-life: as it says on the back label, can drink now or cellar for 8 years. We're now going on 9 for this one, which must be why Groc. Out got the remainder. It was drinkable over the evening, but right from the beginning it was full of funk, a bit oxidized and chewy, with a quite sour palate and bitter finish. Again, I was able to "enjoy" the rest of the bottle throughout the evening, but I won't be buying more.
--a short p.s.: I just saw the same exact bottle and year still selling retail ($12) at Cost Plus, which is probably why this is selling quick at our Grocery Outlet. Perhaps I got a bad bottle, and perhaps worth another stab.-- -

April 21, 2012 - Just really nothing to like about this, which is too bad as it was on sale at JJ's. I thought a little age might take some of the fruit out and bring it in balance, but no. Fruity, simple, disappointing.
