Has aged well. Same wine 3.5yr later. Very woodsy- cedar and Forrest floor. Blackberries. Tasty. — 2 years ago
Last vintage of the drought, and it really comes through in this wine. Not as extracted as you’d think but perfectly concentrated notes of dried cranberries, vanilla, anise, blackberry, and pencil shavings. Extravagant in the mouth with mature tannins, cocoa raspberry flavors. Love this vineyard. Rugged site produces such pretty wines. Went excellent with our wood fired pizza. — 6 years ago

Aging beautifully, smells like a chocolate rootbeer float. Rich, textured. Could go another 5yr easily. — 2 years ago
We ordered Markham Merlot, they delivered this…..not bad, not Markham — 2 years ago
Brilliant balance of bright fruit and velvet texture. It pops, yet is ohhhh so silky. Vivid color. A blend with cab and Merlot from Napa isn’t that exotic, but a Merlot led blend being the top showstopper cuvée is! Rare and beautiful. Blackberry preserves. Interesting that as clean, clear and bright it was, It threw a good deposit. Best in about 5yr. — 5 years ago

Very vanilla and Oak forward with the aroma and a lovely oak, vanilla, and cinnamon taste. This is a sweet and complex wine with bold flavors. I would recommend drinking as a sipping wine on the couch instead of a steak wine. — 2 years ago
