Really nice wine. Pleasant surprise. Merlot driven blend, always thought that varietal does well there. A "big" merlot. Lots of extract. A bit hot alc. very ripe.

Delicious blend from Sonoma. Cab sauv leads the way but it's well balanced. Sturdy red that would go well with grilled beef or lamb.

This has so much more cocoa than the 2008. Great big bright red fruit. A lot les herbal qualities as well. Just perfect right now. I’m interested to look at the vintage charts for these years in knights valley. For some reason I thought 2008 was a pretty good year, but 2009 is tasting better.

Jam, vanilla, tobacco, pepper, herbal. Tasting great at 10 years old! Definitely lost the massiveness of this wine which I think is good.

Rich, dry, fruity. Needs a bit of time to open.
