Just opened my last ‘13. Blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 3% Syrah, aged for 23 months in French oak (50% new), deep Ruby color with aromas of dark ripe fruit with hints of floral and sweet baking spices. On the palate flavors of ripe dark berry fruit with cinnamon, sweet oak, tobacco and cacao. Well integrated fine structured tight tannins, complex and enjoyable now and should benefit from additional bottle age. Long finish ending with fruit, spice and oak.

PnP: Really tight. Aggressive tannins. Muted fruit. Medium length. After an hour in the glass it opened up a bit to reveal a medium palate of raspberry and spice. Not a bad wine and for $35 it was a good deal assuming my other bottles mature.

Limited selection of wine at a local restaurant, so we got this...not bad.

I've never been head over heels with the wines here but they are always okay. To be fair, haven't done an exhaustive tasting of their wines.
