Aged very well. While still a great backbone, the wine had converted to dark, mineral, almost sweet notes of autumn leaves, oak and tobacco. Tannins were very present but very smooth giving it a lingering soothing finish.

Apr 6th, 2015Great wine for a weeknight. Not my favorite selection from Cougar Crest, but an enjoyable wine. Nice nose - dark berries and plum with medium tannins on the finish.

Wonderful vintage with tastes of blackberry, tea, vanilla and olive. Better than the 2008.
