This 4 year old red blend from Napa Valley is starting to drink very nicely now.

Full-bodied with medium acidity. Big, bold and beautiful. Smooth and elegant.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and black pepper.

Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

Fruit forward with nice complexity.

Rich yet elegant with a soft and smooth mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Still young and would be better in 3 years.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Earthy on the nose with blueberries, currants, black cherries, earth, oak, spices, vegetables, bell pepper, dark chocolates, pencil lead and black pepper.

Full bodied and soft with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, cherries, sweet raspberries, barnyard, tobacco, spices, oak, earth, vegetables, herbs, chocolates, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Medium on the finish with soft tannins and tangy spices.

This is a very young red blend from Napa Valley. Earthy and spicy, and drinks more like an old world Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux.

Showing a soft and elegant mouthfeel, with nice complexity. Stinky right out of the bottle. A very interesting wine with good potential.

Needs 3 to 5 years to come to itself, so be patient, as it will age nicely in the next 10 years.

I gave it 3 hours to open up, and paired it with meats and cheeses. Paired very nicely with the brie cheese and will be great with BBQ Meats.

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec and 20% Merlot. A limited production of 775 cases.

This is a great Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Showing black fruits with chocolates, wood, earth, vanilla, licorice, pencil lead, chocolates and tobacco.

Very dry on the palate with medium acidity and long legs.

Good right out of the bottle, and way better after 2 hours of airtime.

Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. Would be better in 5 to 10 years, so be patient.

Good by itself or with food. A great sipping wine. Just delicious.

Fruity nose with blackberries, blueberries, cedar, vanilla, chocolates, spices, tobacco leaf, earth, herbs, alcohol, licorice, dust and black pepper.

Full bodied, elegant and smooth, with medium acidity and fat legs.

Spicy long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Still young, but already very tasty. I would like to see how this evolves in 5 years.

Underwhelmed. Such great promise after smelling well integrated oak with crisp red fruit aroma, which foreshadowed great promise....not so. Not a bad wine but rather single note, nothing evolved while carefully sipping it. Lingering, lasting finish for sure. But that felt like watching a pretty boring fire work show with more of the same in rapid sequence during the grand finally.
