Luckily the wine aged better than the label. It’s still fantastic! Still tons of black fruit, mild tannins, balanced acidity and a great earthy nose. We served this wine at our wedding and was a great memory to toast to tonight. — 7 years ago

Perfect way to toast our little family Christmas. Still tons of red fruit on the palate and some menthol in the nose. And millions of good memories make it even better. — 8 years ago

I remember why this is one of my favorites and it's aged well. Smoky dark berry nose. Smooth tannins, balanced acid, dark red cherry fruit. Yum-o! — 9 years ago

I usually have a low tolerance for oak on white wines but this was so beautifully balanced with acidity. — 9 years ago
