Tough to wrap my head around. Essentially...it has the all flavor of a Sicilian red blend, but none of the structure. It’s just all out of balance. But, for the price ($8)...you can’t really complain — 7 years ago

Solid CA Sauv Blanc. Ripe green apple, lemon custard, and a kiss of grapefruit. Great for a hot day — 8 years ago

Such a great lil wine. Ripe cherries, pops of raspberry, followed by waves of tobacco and sweet-wood smoke. Bright acidity, backed by just the right amount of structure. — 8 years ago

It honestly reminded me of a 30 or 40 yr aged Bordeaux. The structure leaned on its acid and alcohol, while any trace of tannin has transformed into velvet. The bouquet and flavor profile reminds me more of a warm, leathery tawny port than it does a new world Syrah — 8 years ago

Sneaky ripe for an Hermitage. A lot of fruit right out of the gate, but as it warms/breathes...The classic tar, meat and leather starts to emerge. What a wine — 8 years ago

What's not to like?
Bin cherry, ripe raspberries, mocha and just a kiss of roasted fennel!

It's hard to beat great Caa fruit with an Old World approach. Solid structure props up the heaps of black currant, savory notes, and warm oak spices. — 8 years ago

No way you can find this nutty/peachy/melony complexity at $14 anywhere else. What a wine! — 8 years ago

::sigh:: Apparently even Nebbiolo can taste like cheap wine.
It has its nice qualities...cherries, roses and a touch of dried herb. But it just doesn't follow through
