October 19, 2017 - Tasted at Yan's China Bistro three red wines from 2005, (Vilafonte, Manyetes, and Nickel& Nickel Regusci), nose of black berry, mint, and earth, same on the palate, medium/big body, easy to sip and savor, simple, mouth filling fruit, and a medium/finish.

June 16, 2016 - A well structured wine, elegant tannins, good fruit. Blackberry and slightly eucalyptus nose, not especially complex, but delicious palate with good length.
