Manages to be bright with moderate acidity and still have a waxy last taste to it. Bright straw and slightly under ripe gooseberries, slightly under ripe raisins, persimmons. It has the tart and the acid hit a good golden flavor that has enough sugar developed to not be just bitter. Smooth and flowing, not very viscous, considering the waxy flavors to it, but overall a definite winner, especially in combination with avocado, garlic, pita bread, and all sorts of grilled meats, al pastor style.  — 7 months ago

Fine light drinking red with an assortment of heirloom varietals you would see in a Sandlands release. Down the middle table red style with good acid but lighter in alcohol and tannins. — a year ago

This time around, I have to assign a slight decrement as it just is a hair below my 93+ standard. Still great, I just think my agnosticism toward Malbec is ultimately emerging. This Chilean interpretation, however, is unique and complex.

Subtle sweetness on a dry white was unexpected of a southern Italian white - good thing I didn’t have to try this blind, I’d have guessed something Alsatian. That said, it was great. — a year ago

As advertised; jammy but unsweet opening, robust mouthfeel with a long bold finish of leathery goodness — a year ago

+2 hour decant (little cloudy sediment). A gorgeous purplish dark magenta color. On the nose: deep notes of bright red fruit, clove, floral, charred meat, smokey marshmallow. Taste: luscious, balanced, indulgent wine with cherry/strawberry, graphite, spice, dark chocolate, dried herbs, and a dark coffee bean long lingering finish. YUM! — 9 months ago
