Their inaugural vintage was in 1999, Provenance means "origin" or "source." In the art world, a provenance is the record of a work’s ownership, from its creation to the present day. Nice ripe dark fruit aromas. Plum and ripe blackberry flavors with bits of cacao and black tea. Soft tannins, good acidity balance, a joy to drink. Should continue to age nicely over next 5+ years.

Feb 20th, 2018Loaded with fresh ripe red cherry, plum and raspberry. Have a little bit jammy action but a pleasant one. Sweet cinnamon and dark chocolate on the nose as well. Medium body and medium acidity with a bitter green herb notes on the finish. Pretty dry. Good steak wine! 15.1% alc. 2013 vintage

Sep 16th, 2022A very good Merlot. This wine is flexible. It is not very dry, but has some decent fruit including blueberries and maybe boysenberry. As other reviewers have mentioned there is also a bit of cocoa. It went surprisingly well with the ribeye steak I paired it with. It was a decent value at Costco. It may be more expensive elsewhere and not as good of a value.
