Served with easter dinner of braised lamb shanks and potatoes au-gratin. Pretty much PNP with dinner. Fantastic blend of Cab Sauv and Syrah. Loaded with dark fruits, leather, pencil shavings. Perfect acidity. Long finish. Wonderful oak. My only bottle of 08' so now on to the 09's. Outstanding wine!

Deep, dark violet in color. The nose shows black fruits with a hint of spice. Silky smooth tannins and medium plus finish make this a great, easy drinker. Paired very well with some grilled rib eyes! Hard to imagine this will drink better than it is now!

Cork was in horrible shape and not thought to be good but turned out to be delicious don't throw away if the cork is bad

Nice acidity and balance, a good complement to food. Juicy, exhibiting characteristics of both its Cab and Syrah contributions.
A little lacking in the complexity department. Enjoyed by the spouse. Drinkable on day 3. 89-90.
