Jan 1st, 2018Way too much Right Bank influence for my palate. But, hey...paired with a medium-rare rack of lamb/Carrots Vichy and parsley infused cannelloni, it will do. But a tad messy and a long way from a perfect match.

Feb 28th, 2014So good! 46%merlot / 54%cab. An excellent blend with a medium finish and substantial tannins! Well rounded spices and dark berries with balanced acidity! I'll have this again!
