This Napa red blend is drinking very nicely as a 7 year old. Bold and elegant. Fruit forward and easy drinking.

Full bodied with medium acidity.

Showing black fruits with light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee, mocha, cola, tobacco leaf, light earth and peppercorn.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

Good right out of the bottle. Good by itself or with food. A great sipping wine and good for parties.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

This Napa red blend is always enjoyable.

Showing black fruits with oak, dark chocolates, coffee, tobacco, herbs, spices, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate. Nicely balanced with nice complexity.

This 6 year old will not last long so drink up.

Rich dark berry aroma. Quick mild dry dark fruit with a very quick mild tannic finish. Not complex in varying taste. On the bottle ...” great wine is defined by its pernisive ability to titulate the festles and buttle bursques. A smolverish blend, this wine is furtoothy and oily-boily.

Deep purple on the rim. This blend was a pleasant surprise as soon as we opened the bottle. Does not need to be decanted, and good wine to have with friends or just with dinner.

Dark purple color and smooth right out of the gate. Dark fruits are there, with a lot of leather and oak. Perhaps a little much on the oak, otherwise would be higher rated.

First sip was eek for both of us. Very tart. I think it was a little too cold. Aerated and let sit a bit. Much better!!
Paired with the most delicious garlic beef. Nom nom nom 🍷
