A bit too young still. When drinking give it a few hours in a decanter. — 19 hours ago

Aged very nice. Nice blend of 60/40 Cab Franc/Merlot. Surprisingly really good with chocolate (dark chocolate). Nice wine, sad this winery is no more. — 4 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days and consistent throughout. The Founders Reserve VII is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 52%, Syrah 35%, Merlot 8%, and Cabernet Franc 5% from a half dozen vineyard sources: StoneTree, Firethorn, DuBrul, Kiona, Weinbau, and Rasa’s estate vineyard in The Rocks District. The quality of the sources is obvious. The wine pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core. Medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. No signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with black currants, brambles, blueberries, lavender, stoney minerals, some vanilla and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the tannins are grippy. Another solid edition of the Founder’s series. Definitely on the young side but drinking well now and I expect it will do so through 2030 with relative ease.

Well first off the was the 2012 vintage Syrah not merlot. Its a decent wine, good body. Dry finish. The original price I believe is 38 dollars and for that price there are other alternative wines that provide more of an experience. However, if there you can find this wine for the mid 20 dollar range it would be very good price and well worth the money. — 4 years ago

"this Top class Porto captures the full rich flavors which are the essence of this Founder's Reserve Ruby Porto. Served on its own in a large glass with cheeses or rich chocolate desserts, or as an aperitif chilled or on ice, both provide superb tasting options" — 5 months ago
