Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits and herb spice notes. The palate shows plum and blackberry and with herb spice, cedar and notes of vanilla. Medium+ length, firm tight tannins, good balance ending with oak and pepper spice. Ok but not great!

The winery and estate vineyards are certified 100% Organic. Deep ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and blueberry with complex spice, cacao, leather and cinnamon. Well balanced concentrated tannins, vivid acidity with lingering finish.

5/2024. Deep flavors with spice on the finish. Expected a bolder wine with an ALC of 15.5%.

1/2024. Good fruit. Bold and nice on he palate. With a 15.5 ALC I thought it would be bolder. Paired well with the Bolognese (beef & pork) at Smoked Restaurant.

Enjoyed on Christmas Eve with dinner. One of our favorites from a trip in 2013.

A very smooth people pleaser cab. Flavor is mild and not complex. Will taste dull on the pallette if it is any later than the first bottle served.
