91-92: frankly surprised at this bottle - lush red fruit and a lovely spicy note from the oak. Has a hint of eucalyptus - reminds me a lot of the 2007 Murphy Napa cab. Nice finish, will have to dig to see if I have another bottle.

great bouquet of dark fruit. medium plus body. Nice mouthfeel. very fruity and rich (but not over-rich). dark fruit flavors, including a nice hint of blueberry. good lasting finish. Of course this is a Sequoia Grove project--I found out they have made in 2010 and 2012--could not find the origin of the grapes or if it is a blend. They do not even sell this at the winery.

Very nice. Creamy mouth feel...silky, toasty. This is drinking beautifully right now and probably has another 3-4 years left in it. Drink or hold. Solid QPR.

Decanted for one hour. Bright with sweet plum, blackberry and cassis overtones on the front end. Smooth easy tannins made this a perfect Friday night pizza wine.

Consistent with previous note - might have one bottle left tucked away, at least I'm hoping I do. Drink up.
