This has become ol reliable in the cellar. Especially for a Monday where I spent the whole day cleaning!

A lot to love about this #wine. Love their range across the board. The wine didn't change dramatically after opening. Pepper seemed to go from crack black to white table over time.
Pours dark shades of red. Nothing blue about it. Moderately dry. Can really pull out the Viognier and its role in the wine.
Deep cherry with slight herbal notes and wild brush aromas. Slightly smokey conjoined with Pepper. Palate is streamlined with deep black fruits. Black raspberry/cherry and more brambley notes. Finish has good structure. Coats palate and shows fine tannin. Opened 12/24/15

Very ripe cherry and date aromas, with a bit of chocolate and even tapenade. Very slick mouthfeel and long finish with minimized tannins.

Boozy and tough initially, but this softens up into a crowd-pleasing, (regrettably?) new world style.

A baby right now but has enormous potential. Best after 2015.

Good choice on a cold, rainy day. Nice while young, I'll let the others rest a while.

Recognizably "rocks"-y, high pH silky mouth.

16/20 (88/100) Аромат личи, цветов акации, спелой вишни, чернослива и ванили. Высокая кислотность, довольно интенсивные, бархатистые танины. Кофейная горчинка во вкусе. Слишком парфюмное.
