2012 - big black fruit, meat, smoke, spice, floral. Candied, sweet palate but holds together well. Nice juicy acidity. For the size this is fresh. — 10 years ago
2004 vintage aging glacially. Full youthful nose of cranberry, sour cherry, grapefruit zest and spice. Medium weight sweet cherry fruit with bright juicy acidity. Structure working well with still plush fruit. Tangy, long finish. This tastes so freaking young - could be a 3-4 year old wine. — 10 years ago
Yum - a step up from the 100% Grenache. More dark fruit and meaty notes. Gorgeous polished palate. Balanced and long. — 10 years ago
2007 vintage just singing right now. Gorgeously complex aromas of black cherry, bold Chinese five spice, toasted herbs and earthy mushroom notes. Palate has medium to full body with plush cherry fruit and juicy acidity. Fresh and lively. Long spice filled finish. Young and in a killer spot. — 10 years ago
Full fragrant nose has straw, dried herbs, gooseberry and grapefruit. Razor sharp acidity on the palate with light-to-medium weight fruit. — 10 years ago
2012 - tighter nose. More black fruit, licorice, herbs. Yum, big structured. Needs time. — 10 years ago

2001 vintage - an aged beauty with nose of caramel apple, toasted hazelnut and earth tones. Palate has round mature fruit and still-fresh acidity. Age worthy and complex, for those that like their chards long in the tooth. — 10 years ago
