Outrageously good and ready to drink now (late 2024) and still has time. Dark ruby color with a bounty of aromas that blast out of the glass. Earth and fruit. Dark chocolate, eucalyptus, vanilla bean, oak and lots of baking spices bleed together with rich cassis, blackberries, and dark cherries. It’s not super tight, well integrated tannins and strong but not overbearing acid structure. It is a big wine but not overwhelmingly so. — 2 months ago
This is a huge wine with matching complexity and intensity. One quick whiff and i am picking up on blackberry, currant, and raspberry. A deeper pull brings out the leather, tobacco, cassis, cedar, and coffee. Plenty of vanilla all around. It all tastes beautifully integrated and complimentary alongside carefully constructed acidity and great tannic structure. Longgggg lasting finish. Superb. — 9 months ago
Nice balance between fruitiness and spiciness. Nice breadth of flavor and tannin. — 2 years ago
A tasty Napa Bordeaux blend, well made, slightly high toned and pushing the acidic side of the spectrum. That’s said, was quite enjoyable, but there are certainly others that are at least comparable if not better at this price point. — 5 years ago

Pouring this out is a joy as the aromas just immediately fill the room - a bouquet of scents. Chocolate, cigar, vanilla, and a ton of blackberry pie and baking spices Smells delicious. The color is a dark garnet, borders of red. Strong, large body with big tannins. Beautiful mocha and blueberry flavors. More of the vanilla. Loving this. — a year ago
