2012. Great stuff right here. Spices and earth on the nose, currants, blackberries, sour cherry, darker fruits too. Prunes for sure. Maybe a hint of date. Earthy and grippy. Nice structure (I think?) Great mouthfeel, some tannins but not too much. Definitely will buy this again. — 7 years ago

Kinda love this wine. Soft berry notes and this cumin/chili powder thing on the nose. Blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, cherry on the palate. I keep thinking “rustic” idk what that means really though. Kind of an earthy/meaty/seasoning thing happening on the finish. — 7 years ago

Nose is currants and spice rub or jambalaya spice mix. Love that. Ripe red fruits, currants, and that meaty spice mixture on the palate too. Tannic, with an almost chalky/dusty mouthfeel. Challenging but I like it. — 7 years ago

Eh not loving this. It’s alright. Got that herbal/spice thing on both the nose and palate but just not as refined as the Givry I had a couple weeks ago. Tart red fruits, grippy, kinda rough. That may be a bit harsh though. It’s good. Just at $27 I’m probably going elsewhere next time. — 7 years ago

Really good. Lots of currants and prunes. Dusty, dry oak. Medium finish. Great value at $19 — 8 years ago

Really good stuff. Light cherry, blackberry, blueberry mainly, getting a bit of prune on the finish. Not tannic, just nice and light (but not too light). Well balanced, good mouthfeel, “very nice” is how I would describe it. Not nuanced or challenging, just a very nice red wine that I would enjoy anytime anywhere. — 7 years ago
