1 person found it helpfulOct 20th, 2017Pleased with is wine. I've been impressed with Keenan and this keeps it going. Pepper, tobacco and bold black fruit on the nose. Smooth, with some time spent in the air. A bit dry on the tongue but smooth from start to finish. Enjoyed with an Orzo pasta dish with chicken and a pesto drizzling.

Mar 26th, 2021Heavier Merlot. Smooth upfront. Lots of earthy tones and spice. Medium tannins and can get some tartness at the end.

Apr 27th, 2018Hard to accurately judge as bottle was served warm. Very young and need decanting time. Nose is closed. Medium weight and warm red fruit. Short finish and hard tannins in the finish.
