An excellent wine from a not great year. Gorgeous on the nose. Plum, cassis, lavender, and milk chocolate. Just a bit weak on the finish. — 3 days ago

It's Open That Bottle Night(last Sat in Feb), and thought this would be a nice pull to celebrate the occasion.

1 hour decant(decent sediment). A striking still dark garnet with some bricking. On the nose: perfumed stewed cherry/plum, smoked meat, worn leather, cigar ash,milk chocolate, rich soil, some band-aid(brett) Taste: smooth, polished, vibrant wine with plum, tobacco, bitter chocolate, worn leather, earth, and a long graphite coffee ground finish. YUM!!!! — 2 months ago

Full bodied. Fragrant. Filled with dark fruit, milk tea, mocha, potpourri, orange peel, tranberry. Build for a long life but enjoyable today with some air. — 2 years ago

Very Soft apple cider. Maple wood, the “milk” in milk chocolate, not the “lavender” in lavender, but the “milk” of lavender? Whatever it is, there is like a floral or herbal substance or spirit animating the flavour that’s carried by the “milk chocolate”. Some kind of cucumberism?

Lots of complexities to this despite being a red blend. I guess, maybe that explains the encompassing or hard-to-nail flavours. It’s an archetype or an ensemble rather than something singular. That said it’s got plenty of personality. — 3 years ago

Pours burgundy with a hint of brown, smoky salami and sundried tomato on the nose, very savory palate. Unusual, but pretty tasty. — 4 months ago

Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of blackberry, tar, forest floor and black licorice. Flavors of dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, baking spices and black cherry. Long velvety finish, balanced acidity and smooth tannins. Fruit forward and bombastic, but also nicely textured and somewhat savory. Excellent value. — 5 months ago

2014 vintage. Decanted for approx 5 hours. Graphite, rose petals and chocolate covered cherries on the nose. Light-medium body. Silky raspberry/blueberry, milk chocolate and kirsch taste components. Wasn’t tasting like California. Beautiful. — 4 years ago
