  Perfectly fine Columbia Vly red blend of Bordeaux varietals + syrah. Had all the expected flavors of dark cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, and pepper -- but no wow factor. May hold for a couple more years.

  Powerful floral and spice nose is seductive enough to convince people who said they didn't want a glass to have one. Very dark purple appearance. Palate of lavender, grape bubblegum, cherry, plum, black pepper, cinnamon, tar, and coffee.

  Leather and tobacco. Proper on the back of the tongue. Nice fruit balance.

  Pleasant aromatics, including charcuterie and hints of orange zest. A well made kitchen sink red. 89-90.

  Bought in a restaurant at 25% off regular price. Finished at home after about a 3 hour gap. Beautiful blend of Columbia Valley and Red Mtn. vineyards; the latter really puts the body in the bottle. Dark purple, medium-bodied, juicy. Not especially long finish, I put that on the cool vintage, but very enjoyable on its own after I got home.
