June 26, 2016 - Inky dark purple, bold nose of violets, tobacco. Dry tannins with good acid, bold body and fruit without being jammy. Kept in check by the acid and tannins.

March 14, 2015 - Savory, dark nose with anise, violet, wood spice, and black pepper. Full and texturally elegant, the body shows mild blue and red fruit. Finishes with very fine tannins and nice length, though a little light on acid.

May 11, 2012 - Popped and Poured. Deep floral nose, slightly sweet taste, very smooth mid-pallete with cherry overtones, soft sweet tannins and long finish. This wine is very good and drinking suberbly right now.
