…now this is some inky grape goodness in a bottle. Tastes like a Lynch Bages combined with a $300 Napa Cab…. Haven’t had a bottle this good since Scarecrow…. — 5 days ago

For the price you’d expect more. Easy to drink with tons of fruit. I’m not sure how these can age without any real structure. Almost like a drink now style of wine. — a month ago

On a day that the Northern CA rain reminds me of the weather on the day I bought this at the tasting room in OR, I decided to pop this one and see how it stacks up. Simple elegance with the label. Color is red/maroon instead of ink or blood purple. Smells a bit like a berry-cherry tart in a campfire. Matchsticks. Flavors are spectacular. Fruit coupled with savory strange stuff. Minerals. Like lots of them. Flinty. Bittersweet in the best kind of way. Hint of mocha. Complex to say the least. This is a lovely wine. Less tannic and dense than WA or CA Syrah, but bright and strange like the best Syrah’s from France. Almost seems like a GSM blend. Elements of great Grenache in there too. Nice stuff. — 3 months ago

Heavy tobacco, smoke, and earthy tones on top of dark fruits. Opens up very dynamically because of its vintage. — 15 days ago

Much like the wraith it doesn’t warrant the cost. Good juice but better alternatives at that price point. — a month ago

Mmmm - delicious! Quite full bodied with a deep ruby red color. Enjoyed with red meat and all by itself. Flavors of blackberry, plum and dark cherry. — 4 months ago
