March 24, 2014 - Good red fruit with some acidity that cut through the rub of the BBQ Ribs.
December 16, 2010 - Not much of a nose. Thin, almost rose look. Finish is reasonably good. Some folks seem to love Raptor, but I am not one of them.
November 27, 2010 - Mild and light bouquet. Had with grilled salmon.
September 26, 2010 - Cherries, earth and mint. First taste of this winery. Not sure I'd buy again.
September 2, 2010 - Corks: Ampelography (Rossford, OH): Big pencil shavings on the nose, slight funk. 13.5% alcohol. Big oak influence, too much. Good structure.
March 10, 2010 - in agreement with much of the below.
February 3, 2010 - Nose of sour cherry, which follows to a tart and sour palate. Medium-bodied, acidic, and short. Considering the pedigree of the winery, an unimpressive wine.
September 16, 2009 - R&R Marketing 2009 Gala (Atlantic City, NJ): Nose... indistinct. maybe good? P: good acidity, just touch oaky.
February 6, 2009 - Lighter red with crisp body and steely approach. Not big and rich but rather reserved and firm Light cherries and plums with a light blueberry finish.
November 28, 2008 - Thanksgiving Wine Tasting (Carlton, OR): Black cherry, saddle leather, and a mineral component. Tasty!
