Very drinkable in mixed company. Fruit forward, dark cherry, plum, light oak, but not overly jammy. Likely valley floor grapes as sulfur and silt, earthy notes were less prevalent. Did not have to decant to be enjoyed but the depth of flavor continued to unfold over time. Wet mouth feel, likely less grape skin tannins makes this more universally approachable. Nice legs and inky hugh. I look forward to enjoying again. — 6 months ago

2002 vintage, drank 5/9/2015...
Probably a bit past its prime as the coloring was tinting into a touch of burnt orange. Decent legs and bouquet remained. Balanced and not heavily tannic. Excellent daily drinker(especially at the price point) and probably a good option for those who aren't fans of either earthy wines or massive, powerful flavor profiles. Will probably hold up in the rotation with the starter wines like a descent Pinot. — 10 years ago

Balanced and silky. Slightly dark skin fruit forward, earthy, shale, slight pepper. French Bordeaux influence. — a year ago

Decant. This wine opens nicely. Fruit note in the front. Black berry is prevalent. Finished with earth tones and vanilla. Well balanced with enough flavor to be on the chewy side. Would present well in most circles. — 9 years ago

Blackberry, minor touch of spice on the finish. Earthy tones stronger fruit. Straight forward with subtle complexity. — 2 years ago

9.5

Big bodied Shiraz, drank right at its peak. Very concentrated grapes must indicate a warm growth season. Translated into massive flavor with very smooth tannins and nice full finish. Obvious fruit notes, but peppery. Excellent steak wine, deep purple coloring, defined legs, good bouquet, big finisher. Balanced all the way through. Great for both the experienced drinker and obvious enough for the novice. Not a first wine in a tasting series. — 10 years ago
