Consistent with past bottles. This wine delivers and excellent value, along with surprising depth and complexity . Aromas/flavors of blackberry, blueberry, earth and spice. Nice balance and finish.

After the first six bottles or so I decided to use this exclusively as a cooking wine. However, the last bottle seemed better so I opened one to drink. The first night this had a bitter chocolate flavor profile with dark fruit that I found OK but not great. It is now day two, and I really think this wine has a problem with brett. The smell of bandaid is now dominant. There is good, smooth fruit on the palate in a simple but enjoyable style. The rest of the bottles in the cellar will be used for cooking.

This bottle was consistent with previous bottles. Odd and unenjoyable.

Consistent with past bottles. This wine delivers excellent value. Fruity, earthy and complex for the price.

Holiday Golf Buddy Dinner (Casa GolferChris, NW Suburbs Chicago): Excellent value. Aromas/flavors of blackberry, blueberry, earth and spice. Good depth and complexity. Balanced tannins and nice finish.
