May have waited a little too long for the 2010, but still nice. Label has seen better days as well!

2010 Vintage. Nice dry finish, spices compliment the soft fruit notes.

Big and Powerful but very balanced. The alcohol is masked in this.

Alright, this big 15.2% domestic red will push the Caps through the 3rd period to a win #rockthered #letsgocaps

Blackberry, raspberry, herbs, slight fennel, a green note, slight nail polish/va?, a subdued meaty hint

Amended my note: no wonder it didn't taste like syrah, it's not...hahahaha, had it in my head all evening since pulling this that it was a syrah! Explains now why my note sounds like a grenache to me :)

Great stuff. Plenty of fruit mixed with a tarry Grenache under current. Really flavorful and still years of potential.
