Mixed black fruits primarily, medium plus weight. Has some nuances that does not make it as good as the F2. Easy drinking and fairly smooth. Good week day drinker in the French style.

A nose of some dark fruit and heat, some spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with black cherry, currants, spices on hot finish, average at best. www.winelx.com

Aromatic black and blue fruit, garrigue, earth, and spices on the nose. Ample weight and plenty of stuffing on the approachable palate. A streak of cardamom plays well with the dark fruit flavors. Finishes with grip. Savory, fruity, and tasty.

Pulled from cellar at 52 degrees - PnP - Very light nose with a little light red fruit. Tasting starts with a bitter burst of alcohol and astringent tannins. Can taste the acid a little, but the bitter taste lingers through the finish. Don't taste much fruit. I let a small amount sit and reach room temp - mellowed a tad. I have read reviews that this should be consumed now, but I'm going to leave my other bottle in the cellar until I see some more reviews.

Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc blend. Medium ruby in color. Cherry, licorice, spice nose and palate. Subdued tannins.Medium body. Medium to long finish. Thoroughly enjoyable, if not mind blowing like some other Phinney wines. Good alone but better with food. Enjoy now; not for the cellar.

For the price, an excellent weeknight wine. Red and black baked fruit. Slight tannins, low acid, easily quaffable.

Its alcohol heat right off the bat. Bright cherry and rasberry follow, with soft tannins. This is an okay wine for the money

Not as nice as my first bottle but typical phinney wine; abundant fruit, ready to drink, very smooth, drink up

This is my second review. Opened another bottle - it was even worse.
