May 6, 2021 - Cline is still exciting with spice, acidity and plumy-spicey-cola notes ... vanilla, cherry, spiced-plum ... Lots of great flavour (15%) makes it dangerous, but it's tasty as hell.

August 5, 2015 - Aromas are olfatory awakening with plum, vanilla, and black cherry ... palate was round and full of flavour: juicy with spiced-plum, vanilla bean, black cherry, and just the right amount of spice for balance.

June 6, 2014 - Agreed with previous reviewer. This is at its peak right now. I've had this wine many times and it's never been this good. Drinking above its price point. Ripe berries, vanilla, oak. Moderate tannins. Well balanced.
