2 hour decant. Clear deep inky purple color and full bodied with high acidity. Clean medium intensity nose of dark bramble fruit, anise and earth notes. Black berry, anise, leather and earth on the palate leading to a smooth moderately tannic finish. Drinking very well and paired superbly with the home smoked brisket we had for dinner. — 7 years ago

Clear pale gold color, dry and medium bodied with high acid. Clean medium intensity nose of floral notes accompanied by a sour funkiness that carry through to the palate. This is not a grape I am familiar with and is my first time drinking this style of wine, so don't know if what I am tasting typical. Certainly different, but I like it! — 7 years ago

Clear opaque Ruby color and full bodied with high acidity. High intensity nose with bags of cassis, anise, warm spice and a hint of barnyard. Faded cassis and dark berry notes on the palate with pronounced barnyard funk and lots of black pepper spice. Longish finish with medium tannins. Not sure if this is a bad bottle, or if the wine is best it's prime. — 7 years ago

Clear dark Ruby color and full bodied with acid. Clean medium intensity nose with dark berry, oak and alcohol notes. Restrained dark berry, earth and tar notes on the palate leading to a smooth peppery finish with fine tannins. Still a big delicious Cabernet, but most likely close to the ends of it's best drinking window, as the fruit notes are receding. Began opening up after a 60 minute decant. — 7 years ago
