Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates and black pepper.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, cooked cherries, light green vegetables, spices, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.
This 10 year old red blend from California is still drinking beautifully. Complex and interesting. Nice to see that it aged nicely.
Showing slight RS on the palate, but I can live with that.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Charbono.
15.2% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$60.

Big, dark and rich! Dark fruit aromas and flavors. Black pepper and licorice notes. Hint of tobacco and cola. Lots of oak. and fully extracted. A little Bret but the tannins are relatively smooth for a young vintage.

Very enjoyable wine but was less impressed upon trying a second bottle. Smooth and somewhat mild in flavor but the texture feels great. Dark fruits yet subtle. Would drink again but perhaps not quite worthy of the price tag.

Silky, full bodied, dark cherry flavor, smoky aftertaste, great with pepper crusted filet.

2016. Earthy nose, with a hint of eucalyptus. Cassis and black cherries on the front. Medium tannins on the top of the palate with a sweet watery finish. Meh.
