Dark plums, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and hints of eucalyptus in the nose. Explosive rush of dark fruits carried further by a 14.5% ALC from the first followed by a satisfying blend of oak and vanilla with a dollop of chocolates. The finish is long and smooth favoring oak, vanilla, and pepper and a silky smooth mouthfeel. — 6 months ago
Absolutely delicious. Lots of minerality. Stiff bouquet but smooth with a wonderful finish — 7 months ago
Leftovers from our 2nd Annual, “Bierock Bonaza: Let’s have some funza with Runza”.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2015 pours a deep ruby with a slightly purple tinge and a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of lightly stewed, spiced strawberry, ripe fig, and cherry lozenges, red flowers, green herbs, with a touch of leather, and a mix of organic and inorganic rocky earth. Just the faintest hint of mouse. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The alcohol is also medium+. Delicious. Drink now through 2030.

Jolie complexité sur un fruité juteux avec de très discrètes notes oxydatives, mineralité et rondeur. c'est efficace et juste — a year ago
Pretty darn compelling, focused, lemon rhind and mineral, with good balance in the palate. — 4 years ago
I’ve been on a QPR kick lately with this $11 Costco #valledeuco #malbec. Expected bramble fruit, leather notes on the nose but the fresh acidity, balance and restraint on the palate are much appreciated. — 5 years ago
6/5/26 home cooked dinner with my love. Melon, black currant, plum. Did not taste licorice hiding in there. Was wonderful. Definitely buy again. . — 4 months ago
From Perry Guy collection. Outstanding! — 6 months ago
Deep and feral. Blood and granite all over the nose, along with cracked black peppercorns and dry aged beef. Pretty large-framed for a Saint Joe on the palate. Savory, iron and granite. Still some tannin to shed. I’d thought this would be further along than it is, but it’s got promises to keep and miles to go before it sleeps. — 7 months ago
