  February 22, 2015 - The wine has medium acidity. It smells like wet wool, mushroom, barnyard, tea, bready and chocolate. The wine finishes short. It tastes like wet wool. The wine looks brick colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. The wine has round texture.

  November 17, 2014 - Had it hanging around my cellar for several years. Was acquired through the Vinyards wine club. This was incredibly tasty. Most of tannins all mellowed out, lots of fruit preserved. Hints of strawberry sweetness, likely due to its Shiraz content. Had with spaghetti with simple tomato sauce. Really good to drink right now.

  August 4, 2013 - Dark ruby but not quite purple. Nose of plum, chocolate and spice box Viscous mouthfeel. Rich flavor reflecting the nose and moderately long aftertaste. My only bottle, good but I don't think I'd seek this out.

  July 10, 2008 - Much better than 2 years ago. Makes me wonder about the integrity of the other bottle. Cherry, leather, plum, pepper, nice balance, long finish.

  April 5, 2008 - Full fruit of bright berries. Lots of mouthfeel from the shiraz and classically over-oaked - showing in the vanilla. Predictable California effort.
