Served cold, this wine is bright, with a nice note of pears. Medium-bodied and smooth. A nice Chardonnay. — 5 years ago

Following advice from other reviewers, I agree this is better slightly chilled. Leather and red berries on the nose and palate. Pepper on the end - much more after chilling slightly than at room temp. Light mouthfeel and medium/low tannins. Not as complex as many great OVZs. Imminently drinkable. Unremarkable accompanying tomato-based pasta, and it didn’t hold up to a flavorful cheese course either. Okay, but not great. — 5 years ago

8.8

Decanted for one hour, this wine is very approachable with or without food. Blackberries and other dark fruits are the strongest notes, accompanied pleasantly by vanilla and oak. A pairing with spiced meats may bring out another layer of complexity. Well balanced, and with moderate tannins, this blend also has a long finish that evokes the bourbon barrels it was aged in. — 5 years ago

Lots of berry flavor. Sort of one note. Not bad, but not very good either. — 4 years ago

7.8

Not remarkable, but passable on a hot summer day. Lingering notes at the end are not that pleasant. Drink well chilled and quickly to maximize refreshment and minimize the less favorable flavors. — 5 years ago
