Dry, oaky red with a nice blend of Sangiovese and Syrah. For the price, a decent bottle. — 9 years ago

Bought it for the story- aged in Pappy Van Winkle barrels. I'll buy it again for the taste. A beautiful bottle. The red blend is not overly dry...very rich in flavor with a port finish. Perfect with a pork tenderloin. — 10 years ago

Uncorked in the lobby bar of the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman. I am sure the company and the locale didn't hurt, but this bottle was tremendous. — 10 years ago

I learned the hard way that drinking organic wine does NOT help one avoid hangovers - despite what the sommelier said. That point aside, I enjoyed this wine at a party and kept going back for more. Definitely worth its 90+ rating. — 10 years ago
