Still pretty tight, essence of blackberries, cedar, vanilla and and a pleasing vegetal note (think fresh ancho chilies just plucked from the plant) on the nose. On the palette the dark berry flavors combine with hefty, chalky tannins and sweetness from the vanilla combine for a very nice treat. ❤️ — 6 years ago
Paired with ground beef chili with homemade ancho chile seasoning. This wine was a great match, medium weight, good acidity to cut the spice and great fruit that is sun-warmed strawberries, blueberries and just enough from the Syrah (including black pepper and savory notes) to keep it from being too simple. Very long finish and well made. — 8 years ago
On the dark and brooding end - but not heavy. Black cherry, dried cherry, ancho chile, leather. — 9 years ago

Bright cherry aromas, Saigon cinnamon, majoram, nutmeg, dried ginger, and ancho chile powder backed by a dusty mineral foundation. Finish is good, but not great, but for the price range, this is tasty. — 3 years ago
A good, but not amazing Napa cab. Ramey is always dependable, and one of our favorites. The bottle warmed up a bit so this one wasn't at peak. Paired well with a coffee and ancho crusted elk backstrap. The fruit really works well, bringing out the flavor of the elk. Yum. — 6 years ago

Garnet in color. And oh the mocha. Thaaaaaaa mochaaaaa. And the vanilla, too. This nose is KILLING IT with those coffee beans, cocoa beans, and vanilla beans. There’s also cassis and black cherries playing the fruit role, with cedar and charcoal and mint as a supporting cast. It’s medium to full bodied with a dusty mouthfeel and hot tannin. There’s flavors of black cherries, juicy plums, burnt caramel, and ancho chiles. It finishes hot and dry with flavors of plums, pencil shavings, and ancho chiles. — 9 years ago
