  I don't believe I have ever rated a wine higher than 92 points. This wine is such a seductive beauty right now. It was my last bottle and I am really bummed I didn't buy a case instead of just bottles. Beautiful nose of cherries, strawberries and boysenberries on the nose with almost like a cognac touch to it. The mouth feel is so elegant with perfect balance of ripe fruit, oak with almost like a hint of tobacco and smoke. This wine has an elegance of an old wine with the fruit integrity of a young wine.

  Last bottle. Best one of the lot. Opened up rather nicely after 45 minutes. A little thin on fruit, but finished well with a little earthiness. I would drink any remaining bottles within the next year.

  Great dark purple color. Looks and smells like a very young wine. Dark blue and black fruit with a nice funky Syrah whisp. Fruit is black cherry and juicy boysenberry. Fresh and lively right across the palate with good acid and still kind of gritty tannins all in a nice balanced package showing no alcohol. The Grenache and Carignan really shine making this a great food wine. Still drinking fairly young and an amazing bargain at $15. I could drink this every day.
