Popped and poured. The 2012 pours a deep ruby, with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of blackberries, desiccated cherries, prune, pipe tobacco, new leather, purple flowers, wet rocks, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and quite satisfying. The texture is luxurious. This drinking well now and should continue to do so for a least a few more years but why wait? — 7 months ago
Dark ruby color that is a bit translucent but still has some cloudiness. Notes of wild fresh strawberries, cherry jam, a bit of barnyard and salty qualities (from the yeast). On the palate, has a light to medium body with some roundness and plush tannins. More fresh strawberries straight from the fields, simmered cherries or a cherry jam, with a hint of basil. Is light enough to enjoy alone or with light nibbles. But would pair well with a range of dishes including barbecue, pizza, grilled pork, steak, or a chicken dish (with a sauce and some spices). — 3 years ago
Well-made but just too intense. An overpowering Cabernet Sauvignon that will never lose its intensity with aging. Disappointing at its high price. — 8 months ago
A delicious Pinot to enjoy during a special holiday. — 10 months ago
