I had an "Ah Ha!" moment with this wine today. Only took me 11 months.

Big, juicy, and oaky. Probably not a wine I need to revisit but will be a hit with the masses. Regardless, there's no denying it is a well made wine for the style.

Very nice! This is probably at its peak drinking window. Very well integrated. Even though this is 14.9% abv, there is absolutely no heat.

I totally dismissed this the first time I had it. But the second time around, I'm enjoying it a lot more. Interesting vegetal notes. Nice finish!

Celebrating the new kitchen with a killer lineup of reds! Meat, earth, and fruit in perfect harmony. A real treat.
