Forgot I had this bottle 🤷🏼‍♂️.
Nice surprise, see @David T for tasting notes. I agree with everything except led pencil ✏️, I get led tire balance weights on this bottle. — a year ago

Very special indeed. Balanced aromas, subtle yet rich… layers of flavors in fact. This is a GSM+ Carignan, in equal measures. — 3 years ago

Singing. Nose of the deepest red cherries, iron ore, bay leaves, pink peppercorn, raisins, leather and the smell of the desert. Very suave palate— weightless yet substantial, sweet and tart in the right measures, with a resonant finish. Perfect marriage between modern and traditional rioja, perfect age on the bottle. — 4 years ago

smells like a spice cake bakery….phenomenal waves of cinnamon, clove, cocoa, bush branch, mulch, prune purée, lithe body in silk pjs with lead weights in the pockets and brass knuckles….powwww — 2 years ago

Rooooxxaaanneee!! You don’t have to put on that dress tonight! Another one of Sting and his wife’s wines and this is more then hype: well structured yet soft red that has a sturdy mature red fruit punch going in - great smooth finish that rivals a well made Bordeaux. Wasn’t sure at the price point if I was paying for the name or the vines - happily this measures up to both! Pair with a meal or cheese as it has enough presence to demand a wingman while enjoying it! — 3 years ago

2018 vintage which is important as profile and price point are shifting. As a $20 retail Rhone blend this is a serious deal for a stellar wine. Only time can reveal how it measures up against it's elder siblings carrying twice or more the price. For now, the zippy Cinsault-driven character is lovely. — 4 years ago

Has completely balanced aromas of leather, tar, resin and dries rose and the body is totally integrated already. Many of the 2018’s are putting on weights very early. — 2 years ago

Black and red cherry fruit aromas, dried cran and raisin, display a light tangerine, sage, aloe and pepper dust. Sweet tobacco, and spot on measures of cedar and smoke. Dried cherry, pointedly tart raspberry, black cherry, cocoa, coffee, and tarragon round out the palate. Juicy in places; lean on the pyrotechnics. Balanced in a word.

Love this Cobb. Classic Pinot and goes down smoothly with or without food. Price measures up to quality. — 4 years ago

Like most gewirtz, the actual taste never measures up to the promise of the nose... but MAN, what a nose this one has. Lychee and roses. Beautiful. Lacks mid palate but really a world class version. — 4 years ago
