Very tasty and has the full Napa fruit and dark cherries taste to it. At this point I noted more intense tobacco notes than fruit. The middle taste was superb but the final taste had a strong alcohol burn to it. At ABV 15% the alcohol amount imparts a sweetness to it. Would buy more for nearer term consumption

I’ll refer back to my note from July 2020. This wine is ABSOLUTELY hitting on all cylinders, with the tertiary and earthy notes starting to become noticeable, black fruits very prevalent. Tonight, I’m completely enamored with this wine: the class, the balance, the evolving complexity, the intensity, and the finish are in harmony. Served at a family dinner party, perfect accompaniment to the grilled ribeyes and grilled prawns, asparagus and mushrooms. Outstanding.

I love, love, love this wine! Vibrant aroma, with dark cherry and spice. This was followed on the palate by complex layers of dark red to black fruits, with the quintessential cassis, but also dark cherry and blackcurrant. Topped by a gentle spiciness and a long finish. Perfectly balanced and voluptuous, I drank this with friends on it's own, though it would pair fabulously with a ribeye. This wine certainly has room to age, but this it is SO good right now.

Very good with cheese and crackers. Smells a little jammy, but does not taste jammy at all. Smooth with a small bite.
