Light flavor, medium tannins. A little plum with subtle smoke at the finish. Very good bargain for the price. Tried it with some alfredo, but is simply stated and would pair well with any pasta (bolognese), chicken or veal — a year ago
Low end Caymus. Reasonble restaurant pick. — a year ago
Started out fruit forward, plums, blackberries. After a little more air, it mellowed, and the rich tannins and earthiness shown thru. An hour plus in a decanter is needed. Then it is more of an old world Bordeaux. Stews, lamb, short ribs. — a month ago
Licorice, dry. Very dry. 6% petit verdot, had a nice bite to it. I think we had this at the end of its life. Picked it up at the vinyard in 2012, stored it well. — a year ago
A very balanced syrah. Plums, low acid, medium tannins. Great food wine. — a year ago
Dark cherry, licorice. Very dry red. Paella, if it includes the chorizo, — 6 months ago
A little chewy upfront. Nice punch of cabernet. Then the cab franc and Petit Verdot show up. Dry and rich. Nice sipping with dinner. Went well with lamb and polenta. — 9 months ago
Heavy, dry. Plums at first, licorice at the end. Lots of tannins. Serve with something beefy. 1 hour+ in the decanter first. — a year ago
Licorice. A little cinnamon and vanilla. Not overly dry. Thankfully not a fruit forward type of wine, this has character. Served with rack of lamb and brussel sprouts and it paired very well. — a year ago
