Just a very agreeable and drinkable. Wine. Sorry I only bought 4 bottles. I figured the great one would not add his name to something putrid.. And I was right! — 10 years ago

Agree. A good wine for the money. Gets better the second day.. Recommend aeration to pull the most flavor out of it. Drinking the 2013 tonight paired with lamb meatballs rice red sauce and ice cream with blue berries...

On the upper end of what we would so spend on a bottle of wine. Expensive wine are hard to rate because of the expectations which accompany them. I've found the wine market is quite efficient when it comes to price and quality. We were at a French restaurant drinking this wine paired with a rack lamb and it was nothing short of spectacular. Tannins well under control so nothing overpowered the wine smell and taste. Wonderful finish. We drained the bottle.... — 10 years ago

To begin careful when you pull the cork, if the wine is stored on its side the thick fruit of this wine with cake the cork and it acts like a permanent marker on anything it touches. You need to decant this wine. It's a fruit full wine that will fill your mouth with taste and stain your teeth grape!! I've not seen anything quite like it. It's like they allow the thin part of three wine mixture go and take the thicker meatier part of the juice to make this wine... Age it in oak. We love it and highly recommend it
