This is a solid Napa Bordeaux-style blend. I like the judicious oak use. The wine has finely-grained tannins carrying dark fruits, a touch of mocha, and a dusting of wild flowers. This is a well balanced wine capable of another 5-6 years in the cellar. Look for this 2010 in some end of aisle bins.

Jul 25th, 2015One of my favorite BevMo 5-cent wines. Down to about $25 a bottle. Still a bit young, even decanting for a few hours didn't quite open it up enough. Quite hot up front, decent finish that I wish was longer, with soft cherry.
