What a fantastic wine. Aged gracefully and still has more to offer. Red fruits overlayed with gravel, leather and cigar box. Lots going on at what was a very reasonable price point when purchased st release. Drink'em if ya got'em!

Plenty of red fruit on the palate along with some cocoa and white pepper. Ample, robust tannins. Full bodied with a medium finish. Could use some additional aging.

Indigo color in the glass. Raspberry, cherry and clove on the palate. Bright tannins and a bit of a hot finish. This could certainly use some additional age. Nevertheless, good structure and potential.

Hits the spot - blend is complex enough to stay interesting while you’re savoring the dark fruit, sometimes sour cherry finish - great with our chili on a cool spring night. This will drink super well in a couple years, we just really wanted to enjoy it on a regular thirsty Thursday !

Deep ruby color with a touch of purple in the glass. Youthful aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, black cherry and dusty earth. The palate shows fresh (almost under-ripe) black cherry, prune, blackberry, vanilla and dried bay leaf. Acidity is high and tannins are plush but still drying. Finishes at medium-high length with a little heat in a New World style. A bit too young to enjoy at this point without a long decant, but lots of potential. Should be better in a few years' time.
