May 9, 2019 - Definitely improves with time in the glass and even more overnight. Lush and accessible but not complex.
November 14, 2018 - With Mamoun’s lamb the night before our trip to China. Lovely red and black fruit, garrique, tar and a little vanilla. Best with the lamb kebabs but great on its own, too. Great value for $21 on close-out: wish I had bought more than one bottle. Drink now.
May 28, 2018 - Huge improvement over the last three years. Very dark, probably from the syrah and Mourvedre. Improved dark fruit taste. Taste was the same for day one and two.
October 20, 2016 - Opened for two hours before consuming and drank over the next two hours. Medium dark in color. Improved over the two hour drinking period. The wine became more fragrant.
June 7, 2015 - Dark hue with dark fruit nose. Medium bodied, smooth, dark cherry, strawberry, chocolate. A yummy, lucious fruit bomb. Flavors of bing cherries and vanilla. Great to drink on its own or with food. Drinking nicely right now.
June 23, 2014 - Fruity nose. Medium bodied, cherry, red fruit, easy to drink, nice when paired with food. Drinking very nicely at this time.
January 13, 2013 - Notes from second night. After 30 minutes in the decanter last night, this was very tight. Opening up nicely now. Fruit forward, but not a fruit bomb. Dark in colour, with a rather light nose of black and red fruit and herbs. Medium bodied on the smooth, elegant palate, with cherry, strawberry, chocolate, menthol and herbs. Interesting wine that should last a few years yet (B+/A-).
November 3, 2012 - I love this winery.
March 23, 2012 - I have no detail notes (which annoys me, started as a focused evening, the people came over and I could not pay attention), but I remember strawberry/ candied cherry and mild menthol notes.
October 30, 2011 - Super fruity. Lots of blue fruit flavors. Smooth and quaffable, not rough edge or tannin to be found.
