April 3, 2016 - Second night. Drinking *after* homemade jerk rubbed chicken. Wine is deep red with great mouth feel and strong tannins. Dark fruit,maybe a touch bitter in the finish, but delicious to my taste. It was much more subdued the first night. So a good decant will help. I also think this will last a while longer. I think I have 2 more but I miss labeled them after buying them in the winery.
November 28, 2015 - just short on the finish or it would be better,
Overall it's a tasty treat,
Paired with homemade pasta.
Drink now.
August 29, 2014 - Can't add much more than I said before.. This is a great wine. Th nose, the taste and the finish is just wonderful.
October 19, 2012 - Had with Montreal seasoned steak...wine very smooth. This is drinking very well. Tannins are soft tame and flavor is excellent.
November 22, 2011 - Varietal character, cassis, black cherry aromas with rich dark berry fruit,mocha, vanillin oak, soft tannins, hedonistic in style. Drinking well now.
October 23, 2011 - dark color, pepper, black cherry nose. light smooth lingering fruit, cherry taste. pares well with a variety of foods from pasta, red sauce, hot peppers, garlic, salad. All had very different flavors and very appealing.
October 4, 2011 - Drinking very well now, especially after an hour or so of decant time. Deep red color with nice aromas of vanilla and cherry. Soft, well-balanced tannins lead to a smooth finish.
October 1, 2011 - I agree with others that it was quite oak-y. I liked it, but I was hoping for more.
March 21, 2011 - very delicious and drinking well now with black cherry, plum and black berry flavors, balanced acidity and significant oak. Like to know what was blended with the sangiovese; it obviously tamed the acidity normally found in this grape.
January 14, 2011 - woody, oaky with a hint of spice on the nose. Earthy and woody. complex tastes as you sip and then introduce food
