Wow! This was a 2011 vintage opened on 11.16.2019. Was a fun to drink with spicy meat chili. Flavors of wild herbs, chocolate, and heavy, sharp tannins. Ultra dry! Could use another 5-10 years. Looking for more! Buy and hold these bad boys if you can find them! — 6 years ago

Incredible! Beautiful deep gold color, with a good balance of oak and fruit. 14.1% alcohol. Just the slightest bit of butter on the long finish. And we hate buttery chards. Peach and lemon finish off with nice a touch of acidity. 2016 vintage opened 9-9-19. — 6 years ago

2016 vintage opened on 11.16.2019. Still young and needs time in the bottle, yet impressive as all of Richard Arrowood’s wines are! Had with spicy meat chili which brought out the soft tannins that were trapped by all the young berry fruit. — 6 years ago

2017 vintage opened 9-14-19. Enjoyed with a heavy marinara-vegetable pasta. This wine was young but has great potential with another 18 months in the bottle. Chunky sediment. Lots of inky purple color with notes of green bell pepper and chocolate. Would recommend. — 6 years ago

Sweet on the finish. Seemed like high alcohol content but wasn’t listed on the bottle. Was over all so-so with no real characteristics to talk about. — 6 years ago

Fantastic CDP! Sweet up front yet yielding to the grapes within. Full of deep, berry flavors with a typical CDP finish. — 6 years ago
