Man o man did this wine bring it. Dark inky color with a nose that told me spring is right around the corner, I could see the fruit clearly hanging under the canopy - flavors of dark fruits, touch of graphite and South Georgia fat blackberries. That dude Austin Peterson waved the wand on this one and created one fine Syrah - my go-to for date night with the smoking hot wifey. — 7 years ago

Dark, fountain pen ink inky - aromas of grandma’s blueberry cobbler, menthol & that unique Pritchard Hill mountain sage linger just under the rim – added flavors of graphite and a hint of spice roll along the tastebuds.
Solid mouthfeel and a lingering finish that lasted 60 seconds – like a curtain call with your favorite band - an hour in it opened up nicely – tannins tight prior to that, but continued to smooth out with a hint of tangy raspberry on the palette. – the influence of Melka is noted in this fine example of higher elevation Napa Valley cab.
Paired with some Georgia Florida college football (Georgia won) – just received my allocation and had to try this one – it did not disappoint, made me smile and I’m glad I have more to bust out.
100% cabernet sauvigion, estate grown – 15.5% alc. - 400 cases - $265 — 6 years ago
3/21/18 - $25 - Nice smooth Italian wine for the money - paired well with pasta & meat sauce, took me right back to one of those off the beaten path family restaurants in Roma, just a solid every day dinner wine — 7 years ago
