This six-grape blend is as aromatic as one might expect from Carménère, PV, Merlot, Syrah and Cabs Franc and Sauvignon. There is much dark fruit on the nose, along with cigar box, leather, cedar and licorice. The palate is bold, too, with a complex flavor profile and tannins which are useful but not overpowering. — 4 years ago

Pale salmon color. Aromas of strawberry, white peach, and Granny Smith Apples. Bright wine! Nectarine and rose petals on the palate. Listening to Tales from the Punch Bowl. Primus Sucks! @Claypool Cellars — 5 years ago
Had on the night we listened to Primus and bought a bunch of concert tickets. Big Nose guy recommended. Really interesting complex and leathery, but drinkable! — 3 years ago

Vegetal nose with young, ripe fruits on the palate. Heavy tar and tobacco without being HEAVY! Good buy! 👍🏻 — 6 months ago
Nose: plums, dark cherry, tea, blackberry, dust. Color a little light for cab - but smells more refined than the color would suggest. Tastes good - smooth, medium weight, not as silky I would like - but nice flavors of cigar and graphite and some spice and mildly bitter herbs (bay?). Doesn’t have the weight or mouthfeel I prefer, but the flavors are definitely above average. I like it! Good deal at $14. — 3 years ago

Deep ruby in color; bell pepper, black plums, and raspberries on the nose; medium; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, green peppercorns, and crushed gravel with a long finish. Jason and I like it. — 3 months ago
