By far one of my favorite wines. It's purity and the promising to be an amazing one is unquestionable. Because its young for what the intentions were, I recommend to be decanted. Taste profile is a full bodied, dark fruit up to palate, floral aroma, but finished with black pepper and wet leather makes this one of its kind. — 10 years ago

Great delicate cab, green peppers, slightly spicy, jammy, a bit fruity, easy to drink with a beautiful floral aroma. Very young but it was made to be drank young. Highly recommended as a daily wine. — 10 years ago

2006 ... Wow, medium body, easily mistaken by a Cabernet. Great black berries tone, aged just right. Silky finish, drinks very well. — 10 years ago

To finish my Howell mountain adventure, this beautiful bottle, now 2010 is a little young but I highly recommended. Heavy body, bright aromas, lively background, balanced in tannings and acidity, wild berries, scent of raisins, deep, and rich. Now it might be my personal opinion but I scent dark chocolate and very jammy. Please decant and wait until opens up since it makes a huge difference. — 10 years ago

Good daily wine, not a big finish. I believe it's too young, so recommend to wait and let it mature. Great dark berries balance. Well made overall, definitely a fan.
