Given all the 87 ratings, I was surprised at the taste of this wine. It was a "fruit bomb"! Very pleasant to drink with the "Shepards Pie" we had tonight! Good mouth feel, notes of dark fruit and very smooth on the start and the finish. I bought this at a tasting when one of the Stolpman family did a visit to New England a few years ago. Hope the rest I have in the cellar are as good!

In a great spot. Bright red fruits, integrated tannins and nice acidity. Very smooth. Not a lot of complexity but excellent with Chinese food.

In its optimal drinking window. Very balanced fruit profile complements softened tannins providing elegant structure. Unfortunately my last bottle.

Opened this wine and revisited 3 hours later. The wine really opened up revealing sweet strawberry on the palate with a hint of mint on the nose.
