Deep ruby in the glass, pronounced aromas and flavors, black fruits lead on the nose with a hint or smoke and spice, palate is dry, black cherry, blackberry, plum, vanilla, chai tea spice notes, cedar, this is a big bold merlot with high tannins, acidity and alcohol. Very nice.

P&P through 6 hours this has been really beautiful expression of the fruit, winemaker style and cali dark fruits and dusty valley floors. Punching above its weight. Delicious QPR

Soft red fruits and ripe plums with vanilla spice and Christmas fruit cake on the nose. Quite comforting and subtle. Palate is filled with sweet red fruits balanced with white pepper and lifted acidity. The flavors are clean and simple. But the tannins are still quite forward with a touch of green note at the moment, even after an hour in the decanter to allow the wine to breath. Finish could be more flavorful and longer.

A lot of berry fruit on entry brings fear of a wimpy fruit bomb. However, then A LOT of tannin tells you this is a grownup’s wine. Nothing earth-shaking, here, but a solid experience for less than $20.

Badly oxidized. Undrinkable. Could wait a bit longer and see if it makes a nice vinegar.

Moderate ruby color. Black cherry, plum, and spice cake on the nose. Soft and round on the palate but with surprising amount of tannin. $23.
