$9.99- A extremely good value for the money! When opened and poured, was a little muted with dark fruit and cassis on the nose. Taste was compelling with medium body and plum and dark cherry flavors. A touch of smoke and lively acidity on the finish. Second day, this wine has really come into it's own. Speaking of the second day, how many $10 wines can even show on a second day? This one delivers beautiful blackberry and cassis fruit with velvet tannins. The finish is long and the mouth feel is medium bodied. I can't recall another $10 wine that had this level of polish and complexity....

The Most Balanced wine I've ever had the pleasure of Drinking! Beautifully oaked and not over the top! Medium to full bodied with predominantly red fruit. Finish is very long and VERY Spicy, lots of licorice on the end!

I'm a bit biased when it comes to Turnbull Wines. I've been a club member for almost 7 years. With that said, the 2010 Amoenus is a bit of a question mark for me! The biggest issue is the amount of oak! It is pretty overpowering! But, there is a Beautiful wine lurking behind that! It is very young and has not begun to come together, but it does exhibit very nice fruit with laser focus on the tongue. The finish is a bit hot, but this is a young wine that does, in my opinion, need to rest for another 3-5 years before everything starts playing nicely together. I believe I'll hold my other bottle until after 2015 or so before opening.
