2012. Great stuff right here. Spices and earth on the nose, currants, blackberries, sour cherry, darker fruits too. Prunes for sure. Maybe a hint of date. Earthy and grippy. Nice structure (I think?) Great mouthfeel, some tannins but not too much. Definitely will buy this again. — 6 years ago

Kinda love this wine. Soft berry notes and this cumin/chili powder thing on the nose. Blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, cherry on the palate. I keep thinking “rustic” idk what that means really though. Kind of an earthy/meaty/seasoning thing happening on the finish. — 6 years ago

Really good stuff. Light cherry, blackberry, blueberry mainly, getting a bit of prune on the finish. Not tannic, just nice and light (but not too light). Well balanced, good mouthfeel, “very nice” is how I would describe it. Not nuanced or challenging, just a very nice red wine that I would enjoy anytime anywhere. — 6 years ago

Eh not loving this. It’s alright. Got that herbal/spice thing on both the nose and palate but just not as refined as the Givry I had a couple weeks ago. Tart red fruits, grippy, kinda rough. That may be a bit harsh though. It’s good. Just at $27 I’m probably going elsewhere next time. — 6 years ago

Really good. Lots of currants and prunes. Dusty, dry oak. Medium finish. Great value at $19 — 6 years ago
