    April 18, 2011 - Intriguing nose of rubber with subtle red fruit underneath. The palate is a melting pot of flavors: plum and dark fruit, chocolate, a hint of earth. However the wine fails to bring it all home having a very short finish.

    March 13, 2011 - Medium dense ruby. Full on the nose with dark cherry, maybe some raspberry, chocolate, eucalyptus, soy crackers. Consistent palate but just hint of green pepper. Nicely balanced other than a shade warm on the finish.

    February 5, 2011 - Not among our favorite carmeneres. Lots of green pepper and spiciness. Slightly astringent and some rough tannins. Not a lot of depth. J likes it more than I do.
