Pretty boring label guys. Farmer designed label. Lovely deep rose petal color. Smells of red-black berries, petrichor, and nice flower soap. Flavor is explosive classic Merlot. Granite, blackberries, cherries and bittering herbs. Streak of licorice and liquor. This would go with red meats like nobodies business. — 6 years ago

With almost 7 years bottle age, this is a gorgeous, structured and almost decadent wine. Still very fresh, and ripe with all the spice and dried cranberry notes that are signature of this vineyard. Loved loved loved it. — 9 years ago

I've always been "in like" with Gordon Estate, but never truly fell for their wines...until tonight.
The bouquet alone is worth the price of admission! Okay so here we go: Blackberries, red currants, cinnamon, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, dark chocolate, blueberries, anise, and hints of clove and vanilla. (Breathe.)
The flavors are full of ripe, fleshy red and blue fruits with hints of skin tang to keep it focused.
I'm picking nits when I critique a finish that I believe should be longer, but if Jeff Gordon told me to, "Shut up, and enjoy the show" I would.
I will remember the night I enjoyed this wine, and if you have the opportunity to try some by all means do it!!! — 9 years ago


Strong on the nose. Rich, leathery tannins.
Black fruit, lots of good structure and a long chocolately finish. A gasoline note exists which is very inviting.
Juicy baby!

Caramel, maple, nutty and sweet aroma with an even sweeter taste. Sings a sweet song on your tongue as it crescendos with a lovely finish. Great sipping wine. — 2 years ago
