  Started and finished light. Middle was a medley of spice and flavor. Held up well, cellar stored.

  The perils of waiting too long... had this bottle for some years in the cellar but wanted it to develop fully. Now lacks energy, bland fruit, low tannins. Lingers a bit as it should but without any real body or character.

  This wine Is very frontloaded with Cinsault, which is not a grape we know well or know how to appreciate deeply. It is definitely different and interesting - we generally love blends, but this one was hard to get our heads around. That said, we appreciate that this is a well made, well constructed, well blended wine. It had a somewhat tinny taste (from the Cinsault?) that we just couldn’t shake over two nights. Again, this is a matter of preference as overall we think it probably is a well made wine. Just in an unusual style that we are not used to.

  Opened too soon. Was light but sour. Woods on the nose. Slightly dry. Needs food for this napa valley wine drinker. However, not offensive or harsh. Too young and under developed.
