Estate Selection Red Blend

Black cherry, fig, cassis, mushroom, molasses, eucalyptus, rosemary, bay leaf

Was gifted this bottle 2 years ago and wanted to see how it'd age.. 95 points from Parker upon release, and I'm pleased to report that it's really turning a corner after 2 years in bottle. The nose has a ton of complexity with features of blackberry compote, raisins, violet, and a touch of oak spice. The palate is fairly rich, but smooth and restrained.. not overbearing at all. Dusty red fruit lifts the palate, chocolately notes and sweet tannins finish it off. I wouldn't say 95 points, but not too far off and definitely a great value.

Pretty nice full body, blueberry and blackberry on the palate.. Touch of barnyard, mint, and a lingering finish.. Real nice blend of Malbec, cab, and Syrah.

Off aromatic to the nose, reviewed two bottles and I think it was the fruit condition and aging. Wait till the next vintage.

Double decanted. Light mouth feel but tannic. Likely better tomorrow evening.

Very bold, full bodied, complex - almost too full bodied. This is a BIG wine. Enjoy if you can handle it.

Unbelieveably smooth and rich.

Simple red of cab, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Some tannins but not overdone.

Deep perfumed nose, nice berry and tannin people presence. Black berry and dark fruits. Nice legs.

2012 vintage. $24 @ total wine If I can find this for $10, I'll buy all of the bottles they have. Damn good stuff.
