Drank 8/6/18. Paired with pork and a dijon mustard cream sauce. The lighter tannins would make this a nice pairing for a wide variety of foods.
Medium nose of red cherry and some tar notes. Palate of cherry and some plum, with bright acidity and medium tannins providing the framework. Some darker fruits and tar notes on the medium finish. A nice everyday drinker.
3/22/7/4/3 + 50 = 89 pts.
Thanks @JT

Aug 7th, 2018Not a powerful hit on the nose but subtle cherry notes come through. Up front is a nice fruity tang of cherry and teaberry. Mid palate has deeper berry feel with some light earth tones. Back cigar tastes and black fruit shows up near the end. This is good with an Italian cuisine or a red meat like smoked brisket or fillet Mignon. Nice!

Oct 11th, 2023Tame light jam nose. Tannins hit immediately but not too hard. Cherry cheesecake mid pallet with cigar finish. A sip sticks around for a minute. Good by itself.

Oct 8th, 2022Decent Bordeaux, I’d probably buy again, but would age it. Paired nicely with T-bone steaks and okay with dark chocolate. Strawberries, coffee and soil or wood are our taste and smelling notes.
