December 9, 2011 - Sombre. Sec mais pas trop, tanin prononces mais pas apres. Sensiblement acide. Fruit rouge, légèrement fumé, assez boisé. Bon mais exceptionnel. Pour viandes rouge ou rosées.

February 9, 2011 - Dark color, light fruity nose. Fairly well balanced with light tannins and lots of bright cherry & a light peppery finish. Medium to short finish, it was better after some air. Drinking well now, drink sooner rather than later.

December 5, 2010 - Opaque burgundy color. Forward cherry, blackberry, fig, and smokey nose. Front is smoked, stewed, dark fruits. Good complexity and structure. Sweet tannins, spice, pronounced smokey goodness finish. A very different cab compared to typical CA cabs, but I.m enjoying the change.

October 9, 2010 - Tasted non blind. Garnet, perhaps dark garnet color in the glass, slightly cloudy looking. Nose of boysenberry, currants, plums and Grape aid. Flavors of berries, maybe a bit of cherry on the slightly short finish. Light to medium acidity, light to medium tannins, light to medium body. I'd drink now. 88?
