March 18, 2015 - Surprisingly… average. I was expecting a bit more. Notes of red berries & spice box. Some mild oak & light tannins. A bit thin. Throwing a good amount of sediment. Drink now. Not likely to improve.

June 6, 2013 - Dark berry and spice on the nose, some oakiness and dark fruit with spice on the first taste. Really developed some good fruit after a little air time, chewy tannins and a nice medium-length finish. This was a really nice wine, probably not worth the price compared to other wines in the $50 range that can be had, but not disappointing at all.

May 29, 2011 - Not too much going on with this wine. A $60.00 wine at about $10.00 quality. Wet hay on the nose. Thin but strangely cloying fruit and light bodied. Another overpriced, underwhelming wine from the Temecula Valley. I'm glad I didn't buy this bottle.
