Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and earthy spice, includes small amounts of red Bordeaux varietals. On the palate flavors of blackberry, raspberry and black currant with cinnamon, cacao and earthy notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, fine full tannins, long finish ending with fruit and tobacco spice! Nice!

Nicely made. Big, but not too big. Smooth tannins. Needs some time to develop its personality potential.

Very mild. Hardly any nose. Declared for 1 hr+. Very lite fruit and nose. Sivv liked it more than the Kendall Jackson Grand Reserve, but I’m not sure. It’s meh. I prefer more interesting wines.

Very nice bottle. Tasted like a 2011 napa cab. First time having this and I'd go back for more.
