Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a deep ruby/purple color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate seeing the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart, mostly black fruit: blackberries, lavender, dark chocolate, Palo Santo, fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Really lovely stuff. Drink now through 2041. — 10 days ago

Sean Boyd really knows how to capture the acidity in this blend. More melon, Honeysuckle, and lemon notes than last year, but still an underlying mineral note. Persistent, lip-smacking finish. — 5 years ago

Not one of the best Bordeaux that I have drank but quite decent. 20 years old and still holding its own. for the price point back in 2008 it delivered.  — 6 months ago

Savory and sweet. Strawberry, sweet herbs, pomegranate, and citrus oil. Balanced and fresh. Sean Boyd gets his Grenache right and the ‘16 is no exception. — 5 years ago

This Wine/Vintage was recommended to me by the owner of Blair Vineyards (Richard Blair) himself. He noted that this was one of his best Cab Franc vintages in quite a while, and I agree with him. Dark cherry and cranberry aromas and flavors with hints of Roasted poblano pepper, mushrooms, smoke and vanilla. There is some tannin and a long finish. Excellent PA vino! — 5 years ago

My favorite from this producer. The Syrah equivalent of a 250 yard drive down the middle of the fairway. — 5 years ago

Held up reasonably well but it’s heyday was a few years ago. Still has tobacco, notes of blackberry, and chocolate but had lost the intensity I remember from earlier bottles. — 5 years ago

Deep ruby color with a nose of black cherry, vanilla, bay leaf, and fig. Nice, well-balanced mouthfeel, medium to full bodied with and excellent, well rounded finish of fruit, tannin, and acidity. Velvety tannins. Nice, long finish. — 6 years ago
