Great wine from the Stagecoach Vineyard and has everthing you would expect from a $100 wine. Deep purple/black, lots of tannins still. Raspberrie, chocolate, muted cedar. Really great wine and phenomal QPR.

When first opened this wine has a beautiful spice and floral nose. This wine is still very dark, coats the glass. I find the 2013's to be very tannic and concentrated. This wine is JUST beginning to open up. Medium bodied it has tannins that are moderate, but definitely there. The finish is long on the palate, finishing with varnish notes. Black fruits are present but not prominent. Stagecoach fruit at this price is simply not found.

Not bad at all. First half had nice aroma and taste. Big, but restrained with nice balance, medium acidity and smooth tannins. Very nice.
Second half (stored in a cool environment, but just stuck the cork back in) was a different tale completely. Aroma was still there, but the taste just got a bit musty. Still decent, but was definitely not what it was the first night.

Nose has a slight floral sent. Lable suggests violet and sage, but I do not quite get that.
On the palette, slight earthiness, coco, black berries, some blue berry on the very back end.
Terrific wine that has multiple levels of flavor with smooth tannins. Last bottle in the cellar, and it was worth holding.

Floral nose that transcends into blueberry. Medium full, reaching peak drinking time.
