This is a thought provoking, mid-priced, good wine with interesting flavors. It is a fuller bodied white with the potential to bottle age an additional 3-5 years. This is a balanced wine with flavors of juicy pomelo, dried Meyer lemon rind, almonds, dried Turkish apricots, and herbs de Provence. Has notes of wet stone on the nose. It has a medium to medium + finish with salinity and slight bitterness in the finish. Its high acidity balances the 12.5% alcohol. Would drink again with food. — 8 years ago

Very good dry wine with pronounced tannins, high alcohol that's not overwhelming, and a balance of blackberry and red berry fruit flavors (raspberry, black cherry, strawberry) along with cinnamon, cloves, and discernible mutton and leather notes. Long finish and high tannins suggest that this can age for many more years. — 10 years ago

Medium dry, silky textured, harmonious wine with good acidity and body. Sour red plum, dried red and black fruit flavors (blackberry), leather notes, and black pepper end in refreshing blackberry and herbal notes. Would recommend and drink again. — 9 years ago

Off-Dry wine with pronounced intensity and refreshing acidity emphasized by crisp green apple, grapefruit, lime, and lime zest flavors, slightly balanced by wet stone flavors. This wine has soft tannins and an elegant, medium + finish. High acid palate cleanser. — 10 years ago

7.4

Good medium dry, red berry (strawberry preserves, raspberries, cherries) and sweet spice forward wine (clove, cinnamon, nutmeg) with pronounced intensity, light acidity, whose alcohol balances its tannins. Red berry aromas lead into sweet spice, meat, and toasted oak flavors, giving a long finish. Can age further. — 9 years ago

6.1

Off dry, thin, high acid wine that is not balanced by much alcohol or sugar /fruit. Its underripe green apple, pear, green string bean, and leather flavors quickly dissipate. Its nose seems more intriguing than its flavors. — 10 years ago
