Extremely smooth--tannins are nicely resolved and the wine is still a tad young perhaps but drinking very well. Berries, herbs and a tiny bit of spice. Not much terroir, but given the blend that is to be expected. Pleasantly surprised at how good this is and wish I'd bought more!

Really pleasantly surprised. Chocolate, cedar and whole lot of other things going on here. Dry, nice tannins, yet bursts of fruit. Really a nice complex wine that went perfectly with coq au vin.

Drinking great. Paired beautifully with my wife's delicious duck confit! Let it breathe for 20-30 minutes.
