9.1

Meritage blend - legit, decadent, generous and well made. Dark fruit dominating, cocoa, cassis, lush mouthfeel, finely grained tannins, not overdone or manipulated - just all around badass — 12 days ago

Last bottle and after being disappointed with the last few: this was singing a final encore harkening back to its youth. — 23 days ago

8.9

Decent, generous, well made if a bit generic, fruit driven blend, some complexity & depth of flavor/aromas — a month ago

We liked their Chianti Classico and this was OK - definitely on the rustic side, unbalanced & rough around the edges but still some tasty dark fruit, leather, mossy, great earth driven aromas & flavors makes it a good food companion — 20 days ago

Not improving anymore but still solid, unique & regal - see previous note — 23 days ago

Agreed - this is just good, not great. Predictable varietal typicity, decently balanced and well made. — 25 days ago

True to form - see previous notes, still peaking — 22 days ago

14.7 and you feel every bit of it - otherwise fairly straightforward fruit driven CA red blend, all smooth edges, plush, jammy completely lacking in character & terroir — 22 days ago

ESF

8.7

on the rustic side, very mellow Old World style, red fruit on the tart side, earthy, mushrooms, herbaceous - decent weight, bit astringent on finish. — 25 days ago

9.3

Old School Meritage style, opulent, just flat out fantastic and punches way above its weight class. At 6 yrs old it is still a baby - going to find more to age — a month ago
