  Big, juicy, mouthfilling wine, decent grip, purple fruit, lavender, super soft, rich, blueberries. Crowd pleaser.

  Dark, plumy. Light legs & somewhat tart. Definitely improved with decanting.

  A nose of dark fruits and spices, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with blueberry, currants, licorice and spice on finish, a bit disjointed. www.winelx.com

  Deep ruby color. Sweet blueberry and raspberry jam aromas, along with roses, caramel. Medium-full-bodied with smooth tannins and medium acid, a jammy but slick feel on the palate, and I get lots of blueberry and black cherry fruit, cooked down a bit with coffee, brown sugar, vanilla bean and hints of black pepper glaze. A bit boisterous but it pulls off some fun stuff and provides a moderate amount of complexity. Chewy, rich, warm, with a dusty but sweet finish. Fun stuff now but it could benefit from some near-term aging. 52% Petite Verdot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, aged 28 months in French, American and European oak.
