Perfect deep garnet color. Fruit way too subdued for a 2019. Nose was flat. Jordan is a tried and true California cab. But this bottle was not a good showing for the $56 bucks at Costco. Just a nice red wine. Sorry — 11 days ago

Dang nice wine. Subdued on the nose. Pretty garnet color. Incredible full mouthfeel with loam leather a hint of raspberry but more like boysenberry or black raspberry. My vote is drink now or soon. Pairing with Copper River salmon wild rice and crispy salad. — 7 months ago

Clear garnet with no trace of brick-red. Lively red fruitiness on the nose despite age. Supple tannins without being flabby. Nice acidity which pairs well with Prime NY strip, mushrooms and garbage salad (everything left in the crisper. Nice wine but I don’t understand it very well. — a year ago

Bright garnet color with a hint of brick. Tar and ripe fruit on the nose. A bit of alcohol may be due to warm serving temperatures. A very affordable and approachable Barolo. Enjoyed with herbed roast chicken and root vegetables. Buy and drink soon. — a month ago

Deep ruby and opaque with suspended sediment. Delicious rich nose of ripe jammy fruit and alcohol. Opened in December 2023 and last glass in April 2024. Fascinating blend of dark fruits caramel and vanilla. Amazing example of a vintage of the previous century. Drink now — 9 months ago

Delicious wine. Tasting based on a friend’s bottle opened a week ago. Deep clear purple. Tarry nose though not alcoholic despite a ripe 4.8% ABV. Serving with a garlicky rosemary lamb. Seek out this limited release wine and drink now! — a year ago

Dang, this high alcohol ripe fruit wine has really held up in the decade since bottling. The nose is subdued in terms of fruitiness compared to younger wines yet the layers of rich black fruit leather and spice come through as the wine opens up. Suggest opening and enjoying soon. — 5 months ago

Deep garnet color with a hint of brick. Leather and black cherry on the nose very subdued alcohol. Earthy notes at first then dried orange peel dried montmorancy cherry leather and a bit of smoke. Have one more in the cellar which I will wait 2-5years to open. Thanks to Eric Brown for recommending this lovely cab franc — 8 months ago

Deep purple nearly opaque. Delicately fruity nose of black cherry and boysenberry jam. Bright acidity and rich black fruits maybe some spice. High alcohol is masked by the rich palate and acid. Great wine with pizza and salad. Drink now or hold a few years. — a year ago
