An interesting yet very drinkable wine. Organic Syrah, 11% alc. no oak influence. Natural, but very clean. No haze. No Brett. Tart yet abundant red fruit, cranberry, red cherry. A touch of pepper. Medium- body. Brilliant cranberry in color. — 15 days ago
Solera style multi-vintage cab. Blending years wines from the early 90s. Needed air for sure to reveal slightly tired but layered, complex dark red fruit. Very nice. — a day ago
The producer of this is actually Beau Vigne. Believe K. Venge was the wine maker then. If you had poured this upon release I would have said it was way too extracted and way too high in alcohol at over 15%!!
However, with 15yr age, the intense raspberry and strawberry jam has dropped and the alc has firmly kept the wines structure. Delicious and aging very well. — 13 days ago

Golden in color. Coconut, walnuts, fermented butter great acidity. Maybe 5-8yr too old, but at 41yr is still highly enjoyable. — a day ago
