First time trying this and coming off the back of a dry month.
Impressive for its depth and weight. Nose displays blueberry jam and a hint of sandalwood. Palate is opulent and rich - pretty much stood still in the bottle. Glorious tannins, acidity and that Cali sweet note on the finish put this in the outstanding category. — 12 days ago

Very nice blend. Hadn’t had this in many years. Powerful fruit with notes of cassis and good structure. At 40 bucks, superior to many Napa wines at twice the price. I am going to look for more of this vintage. — 13 days ago

Beautiful wine. Still very fresh and vibrant. Dark fruits, cocoa, and plush tannins. Drinking beautifully now, but has many good years ahead. — 2 months ago

We had to the 2019 Vintage on 11/22/25. A very good full bodied wine. The bouquet and flavor profile are darker and more subdued fruit compared to a Napa floor wine. There is some mocha and minerality. This wine would be better in five years. — 18 days ago

$21 at Walmart of all places: inky dense rich - needed 2 hrs to unfurl to show complexity that is PS: coffee & tobacco, licorice and oh so peppery, herbs, and all manner of red & black fruit + cassis & vanilla. luscious dense plenty of stuffing, polished & suave on mid palate leading to lingering finish. still plenty of life ahead, definitely felt ABV tho — 3 days ago

Deep purple color. Aromas of plum, blackberry, violets and rosemary. Black and blue fruit on the palate, blackberry compote and floral finish.
