Delicious. Was gifted this by my wifey and this wine didn’t disappoint. Decant it for a bit if you can- a little bite right out of the bottle but as it aerates it becomes smooth as butter — 4 months ago

Great dark berry fruit, rich and substantial but good balance, this 2016 is drinking well now. Subtle earthiness makes this very interesting. — 5 years ago

😇 I looked up to the sky & the Purple Angel came down upon me filling my glass with light blocking purple ruby rain that oozed aromas of black & blue berries w/ thick chocolate, vanilla, dates, heavenly minerals & smokey oak - “drink this godly juice” she said in a booming voice🍷

I dared embrace the heavenly nectar & succumbed to a full on palate explosion of ripe dark concentrated blackcurrant/berry bathed in raspberry cocoa and minerals💥

My mouth was left open in awe as my purple stained teeth yielded to the long silky fruit loaded intense finish & I myself turned into a naughty purple devil - spank me angel, spank me 😈

🎵 “And through it all she offers me protection l, A lot of love and affection” you’re gonna be singing this all day now 🤣 “And down the waterfall wherever it may take me .. “

Winemaker Jesse Katz knocks Malbec out of the park! Deep purple, inky color. Aromas of plum, blueberry, lavender and cocoa. Incredible flavors of black and blue fruit, chocolate, tobacco and spice finish.

This wine is different, and I like it! Nice change of pace. Very different aroma. Raspberry, almost sweet but mostly earth, mineral and stone. The spice is dominant up front and lingers with firm tannins. Mild to medium acidity. The devil insignia is cool. — 5 years ago

Bold up front. Disappears on the back end. Heavier beef stock type flavor to it. Not too fruity. We enjoyed this one and it was easy to drink. -2018 vintage — 5 years ago

Light pink, herbal, melon and white pepper aromas, also a slight sulfite-cabbage aroma that I did not find objectionable. Watermelon and cherry flavors. Dry but fruity, good acid, cherry and watermelon on finish with some skin astringency. — 6 years ago
