A great wine that was the first of a few of these. This was a delicious blend that hit the spot. Great nose with beautiful purple notes and spices on the palate. Had some Syrah blue fruit profile as well. Great bottle as usual.

Decanted as suggested by xuaeniw, whom we know. Strawberry nose. Very soft on the palate, velvety smooth; hints of leather and cola, with chocolate notes at the finish . Still quite young, we think can hold for up to 5 years.

Not a bad little wine at all. Super dense and concentrated but just seemed to be a bit 'all over the place.' For a Spring Mountain wine, this one has a lot of dense, chalky fruit. Tastes very young. Still a bit gritty. I would have liked to have come back to this one after letting a full glass sit for about an hour and warmed to room temp. Black and blue fruit, a hint of baking spice. Getting some lavender in the note. Going to have to look for this one! Not sure of aging potential, as to me it seemed to lack a TINY bit of structure. But I betcha this one will hold for a few more years.

Nice and bold. Aerated for an hour. Perfect with BBQ steak. Although it’s a NV, I expect it’s about a 2016… In any case, loved it.

Good wine for the money. Needs to be decanted.
