Popped and poured (right after FedEx delivered). Lovely wine, wonderful nose of raspberries, plums, hint of blueberries. Lots of fruit on the palate as you'd expect from the nose...nice but not long finish. Light structure. Great bargain for $15!!

Very disappointing. After pulling the cork, nice slight nose of violets but when tasted no fruit to speak of...thin/weak structure overall. Waited several hours (watching TCU kick the Badgers at the Rose Bowl), retried but no improvement. Not even sure I'll use it for cooking. Maybe an off-bottle, not sure as this is the first review of the 2008's.

Nice wine, classic cherry and raspberry nose. Lovely jammy taste. Medium body with nice finish. Was a Christmas present, and will go looking for more.
