Good but wasn't as impressive as Id imagined it would be tasting it several years ago. Soft subtle and drinks like a solid LI merlot just no sparks. 2007 vintage

Slightly reticent nose with grapey and dark fruit framed by savory notes. Restrained with a good amount of fruit - dark cherry, red and black plumb. Fruit is encased in savory and cooking herbs like thyyme and bay leaf. strong spicy element like cayenne present from Mid to finish. Significant oak flavors and maybe a bit too much vanilla oakiness for my personal taste. Nice acidity and grippy tannins. A good weekday wine at a surprising weekday price point. Wasn’t as impressed as I was with the 2012, it maybe this will show more with Time?

At 24$ an amazing value. Drinking at peak. Strawberry and raspberry heady fruit with a blue fruit undertone. Cedar, fruit infused black tea. Finished with refreshing acidity.

They only make merlot and Pinot noir. I wanted it to be better. I have to go back and give them another shot.
