Great alone, with food, so solid. Vibrant sweet berries. Tannins moderate and nice. Had two bottles. Cab Sav and Syrah play very well together. Syrah ands the acute, light sweetness full mouth. — 3 years ago

Fantastic wine! A standout of our recent pours. Smooth. Full mouth. Raspberry n cranberry, but not sour. Little kick of caramel. Tannins for balance. For a blend, the flavors and textures work well together. Would be delicious with nice red meat, steak. — 3 years ago
