I believe this is either my first or second KVintners wine. This won “nose of the day” and it wasn’t even close. Dirt barnyard, Olive tapenade, boysenberry on the nose. Very medium weighted on the palate but the finish was full of raspberries, plums, dusted cherries and herbs.

Decanted for a little over an hour. This is the last of the bottles that traveled from Atlanta to San Antonio. Most of the "collection" was uh...absorbed before the move out fear. So glad we held onto this one! Dark, dried fruits, velvety texture and the softest of tannins made this a great friend to steaks, and Agnes was particularly pleased with it's pairing with chocolate covered pretzels. Sad this is the last bottle.

Dark and heavily smoked. Better balance than previous bottle but remains big and a bit clumsy.

Elegant & complex blue fruits, floral & herbal notes mixed pink peppercorn spice & menthol. Fresh, balanced and elegant wine with a spicy but fresh mid palate, finishing with a lingering clove spice finish! Fantastic & Drinking great now!
