First time having the 14 vintage. Delicious, showing gobs of black and blue fruits. Pairs perfectly with marinated cabecou.

It's somewhere caught in the world of port, petit Syrah and Zin. Heavy cassis and blackberry jam. This is beautiful stuff, especially for their second try.

I served it as an apéritif with friends-same way Three Sticks serves it at the Adobe. Second time having this wine this year. There's a certain allure to it. Maybe the stubby whiskey bottle and label add to the interest. Some what of Rhone styled wine displaying a rich, deep visual in the glass, elegant. Nose plays a peek-a-boo with floral, muddled black fruits and chocolate. Balanced and lush somewhat creamy mouth feel, showing firm cassis, berry compote and maduro cigar. Feathery finish that picks up the white grape used in the field blend, ending with mild spice and oak. Well done indeed.

Delicious. Sweet on the nose-maple syrup, clove and baking spice. Relaxed tannins yet still present. Taste of root-beer, blueberry....just yummy! A finish that delivers well after your done. Drink now! @Bill Price

I really like this blend. Rhône blend of Syrah, Grenache, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, and Viognier.

Been sitting on this for some time and blindly pulled it out of the cellar. My wife went for a second glass, which means she LOVED it.
