  Similar to 10/26/20 TN. Dense, sweet syrah fruit. Great if you like this style. Others loved it, but not enough structure for me...

  Surprisingly youthful with some purple hue and a very grapey approach. Fresh black fruits on the palate with some nice pepper and mineral notes, yet seemingly monolithic by the time you get to the finish. I can't imagine much improvement with further age.

  A bit underwhelming... Shy on the nose. Lush fruit on the palate, but nothing terribly distinctive. Ripe black cherry fruit, slightly opulent, but not hot (considering the 15.2% ABV). Fully mature - tannins fully integrated and soft finish - drink up soon!!

  My last bottle, 13 years after I opened my first. Still some nice fruit, some pepper and spice on the finish. This old fighter hasn’t hung up its gloves yet. And neither have I. Good on you Carroll— this wine has stood the test of time.

  I was cooking (aren't I always?) and there were a few burgers on and some nice salmon as well, the smells in the kitchen were intense. And then THIS wine in my glass. Thick would be a good descriptor for it. Never would I imagine it was 10 years old. Smooth as silk on the tongue, with baking spices, dark fruit, bacon. Yum. These Red Car peeps are alright.
