Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Dry-Farmed, a bit of Cabernet Franc in mix, aged 20 months in mostly neutral French oak barrels. Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and floral spice. On the palate flavors of ripe black cherry, raspberry and cassis with espresso, cinnamon and earthy spice notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, fine tannins, long ending with fruit, cacao and tobacco spice! Nice! — 3 days ago

A bit disappointed with this bottle. Perhaps it should have been consumed sooner? — 2 months ago

Our Christmas dinner wine selection voted on by the table after a few tasters at The Charcoal Room in Las Vegas. A lighter mouth feel but rich in flavor if I remember correctly. A delicious addition to our meal I hope to enjoy again. May modify review upon revisiting. — 3 months ago

Surprised how much I enjoyed this one. Had an extra night after kid sports in Sacramento so ran to Mustard’s for dinner. Enjoyed both the wine and the meal. — 13 days ago

Upon opening, this bottle smelled amazing. Ripe wild blueberry and pie like aromas.

First sip and the fruit is present, not quite as jammy as the smell and you get a lot more structure and depth. Some forest bramble and chewiness.

Overall - a steal from auction. Love that people under value the 2011’s — a month ago

I was surprised it was in a clear glass bottle. Still very young but surprisingly light. Very vanilla with fresh cherry’s. Not a big Cabernet at all. — 3 months ago
