Still smokin' after all these years! The cork was so soft that I had to push what was left of it into the bottle, so I wasn't expecting much. Bright fruit, nice acidity, with hints of tobacco and leather. I'll probably end up finishing the bottle before the BBQ chicken is off the grill. Which means the 2008 is on deck. Cheers!

Complexity in nose and mouth sum up this amazing vintage. Building on the Cab Franc earth tones to the multitude of berries, tobacco and late season foliage in the mouth. Long notes that cleanse the palate make this the select wine for grill and salsa- Still holding very well into its 6th year- Cheers.

Great fruit & berries from the Grenache, nice (slight) earth/loamy; still drinks well after all these years

Suspect the wine is nearing a maturity peak. Berry nose with ripened fruit on the palate. Silky mouth feel with slight pepper in the finish
