Near onyx center to crimson rim. Chocolate and leather aroma. Big velvety, dense, coating fruit with a spice trail. Mainly black with a rich red cherry punch. Awesome. 78% Cab, 22% Merlot sources from Ink Grade, Stags Leap District, Yountville, and Oak Knoll. Michele LOVES it. — 8 years ago

Surprise! What a treat. Beautiful rosy color and bright red fruit aroma. But also some leather which drives it across the palate with soft acid and tannins. I could sip this on my patio in Tuscany all day long. — 8 years ago

A work of art. Harnesses big, plum fruit perfectly and balances with just the right touch of tannin on the finish. Rolling, complex mouthfeel with a finish begging for a second sip. This vineyard and its wines are such a treat!!!! — 8 years ago

Hmm. Interesting for sure. Red violet. Took some time to open up. Mint and blueberry. Nice drinkable juice with a touch of leather spice and long soft tannins. A "rinse". — 8 years ago

Interesting in that it is light, dark fruit. Juicy and tannic with a medium rinsing body. Great with tapas. — 8 years ago
