Very interest wine. Deep red color gives the impression of a bid bold red coming but that's not the case. Very dry and not bold, but opens nicely. Young but should age well. Never heard of 2 of the grapes in the blend but glad I tried it anyway. Glad I bought a few bottles to age. — 9 years ago

The best under $10 bottle I've found in a long time. Great with braised short ribs. — 9 years ago

6.9

Not overly impressed. Has been in my wine fridge for 10 years waiting to be opened. Clarity wasn't as expected as it had a slight haze. Profile never opened with breathing. Aroma was pale. Like other commented I wonder if I got an off bottle or vintage but clearly it was handled appropriately since I purchased it. For the price point of this I can say I was disappointed. — 9 years ago

7.5

Decent and balanced but nothing to rave about. Paired well with a homemade shrimp risotto. Forward citrus was not over powering but the buttery back end notes were just hinted at. Profile did t change much with an hour of breathing. Won't rush to buy again but would drink if served to me. — 9 years ago

Young but soooo good. Enough said. Always one of my favorites. Will only get better with age. — 9 years ago
