February 15, 2016 - - Brick color. It's balanced and has flavours of raspberry, black currant and strawberry with a full body. Silky texture with a long finish - This is a great bottle of wine in the twenty dollar range. Although this is a new world wine, the nose and taste are very much old world.
April 10, 2015 - PnV. Nose of dark berries and a whiff of eucalyptus. Palate was medium-bodied with red and blackberries and a hint of cherry cough drops. Softening but distinct tannins on the finish. There is some life left in this.
August 24, 2012 - For the price, this is a wonderful bottle of wine.
July 1, 2012 - - Ruby color with medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry and strawberry. It's balanced with a medium/full body. Juicy texture with a medium finish - You will be hard pressed to find a better everyday drinking wine. Wonderful nose to say ther least. Well balanced and fruit forward.
March 31, 2012 - Not one of their better efforts. OK integration with a shorter finish.
March 24, 2012 - Very nice wine. Not as full bodied as many cabs I have tried, but definitely worth the price.
January 14, 2012 - Excellent on opening and for several hours after. Great with rib roast.
January 9, 2012 - Really full on the nose. Notes of blackberry and complimentary earth and pepper. I found this to be a step above the '05 with better fruit.
December 11, 2011 - This is a great wine for $17.... How can you go wrong? Full bodied - and a great value - drink it now!
November 22, 2011 - Excellent.
A couple years laying down did some good for this wine. Nose and palate exhibited blackberries, cherries and cocoa while the overall structure and finish came with firm tannins and acids and lingering spice and cedar.
