Deep ruby red. Plums, black fruit, tobacco. On the palate, wine is full, bone dry, tobacco confirmed some peppery spice. Highly tannic but smooth. Acidity and alcohol HIGH. — 10 years ago

Wine has low intensity of aromas consisting of bell peppers, citrus and green apple. On the palate... light bodied, medium dry. Apple and green pepper confirmed as well as some herbaceousness that I can't quite pick out. Acid high, alcohol medium. Finish is lengthy with a bit too much bitterness for my liking. — 10 years ago

Dissapointed with this one actually. Medium concentration, medium intensity of aromas. Overpowering lime, some mandarin/mango tropical stuff going on with quite a bit of minerality. Wine is medium sweet, medium bodied with very high acidity. — 10 years ago

Smooth tannins. Tobacco and vanilla. Not my favorite on its own but paired really well with pork tenderloin. — 10 years ago
