  Lithe and supple, balanced and mature in such an elegant way. Black cherry, vanilla, light oak and a pleasing finish. So good with food!
  Wish we had more!! If you can find any, grab it!

  We popped and poured this wine with some nice KC Strip Steaks and it was quite lovely. I would not hold this much longer, as I think it is at its peak or slowly on decline. I also would not decant, as the wine is nicely balanced with integrated tannins.

  Still showing tons of fruit. The tanins are well integrated and it drank very nicely when decanted and poured immediately.

  I'm a Cabernet drinker, and I really enjoyed this wine. Powerful!! I can see the lower scores being those of a mild sort, but this is drinking like a poised wine, with everything in place.

  Rich and full of life. Chocolate mocha on the nose and palate. Chewy from the start to finish with rich, chocolaty fruit and fine tannin. A nice earth and dirt nose adds complexity. Nice flavorful finish.
