Brooding blackberry pie fruit, black plum, still a bit grippy but threw a significant sediment, be sure to decant assiduously. Fruit is good and balanced well with a softly oaky finish, hints of caramel and mint, perhaps a spot of anise. Good wine, but always needs a good aging to show this well.

Inky violet in color. First nose of cherry, raspberry, and blueberry. Second nose opens up with blueberry cream and more of the same. Light and smooth with a tanic dry finish.

This is great stuff. The 90 points from wine advocate is too low. Nice nose of strawberry and cassis. Palate leans towards red fruit - overall impression is of a wine that has classic napa elements but is light on its feet and wonderfully balanced with some bright acidity and a long, refreshing finish. Will please many bdx drinkers as well as napa fans. Not heavy or chocolatey.

Three hour slow ox, followed by a splash double decant. Deep dark magenta color. Strawberry, maraschino cherry, river rock, and black currant on the nose. Smooth, dry palate. Firm tannins on the medium long finish. Simple, fruit forward, and easy drinking.
