  February 16, 2019 - My first experience with this wine so I can't address what has happened to it since release but can report we enjoyed it with a rotisserie chicken, oven roasted potatoes and vegetables. Its nose arrived after about 15 minutes of air. Black plum and fig on the nose; dark fruit, peppery spice on the palate and a lengthy, mildly tannic finish. Some alcohol was noticeable but it did not detract from the enjoyable finish.

  November 3, 2018 - Waited too long. At the end, but passable - fig, blueberry, cherry - dried fruit on the nose- med tart finish

  June 21, 2014 - For $12, a nice wine with some character. Drank over 3 days under argon. Day 1, after 15 minutes in glass, a bit lean with some herbacousness, strong tannin, black pepper and spicy oak. Day 2 I can't remember. Day 3, this is drinking very well. It has softened significantly, although the tannins are still there lending support. This paired well with a berkshire pork chop. Very middle-red, not too full-bodied, not too lean. Enough acidity to be a good food wine. The spicy oak is still present on the finish although it has calmed down. Best on day 3 (under argon).

  January 27, 2013 - Grabbed this on impulse and glad I did. Blend of Cab, Grenache, and Mouvedre. Rich dark fruit nose with toasty oak but also get a whiff of the alc at 15%. Full bodied, rich dark fruit, cedar, black currant, with some licorice on ths finish. Good acidity medium tannin. Needs at least an hour to start opening up but then good to drink now. Good buy for $20
