Cherry, not tannic. Very earthy and dark finish. On the jammy side. Very nice wine. — a year ago
One of the best wines I had in New Zealand, delicious! — 7 years ago
The nose started off with subtle aromas of blueberries and scent of perfume, then gaining complexity with black currants, dates, herbs, spices, vanilla, and hint of smoke. Tastes echoed the nose but have a ripe and syrupy feel. Full body. Warm and velvety with polished tannins bringing home the long spicy finish.
This is the 5th different bottle I’ve had from this boutique winery. They can’t do no wrong. 274 cases made. — 8 years ago

Inky black. Prune on nose. Chocolate, ripe plum with a spicy finish. — 2 years ago
Voluminous and layered, this wine pretty much stayed unchanged since I last had it about 2 years ago. The sweet and dense fruit core is especially impressive.
Every bottling coming out of this winery is well crafted. Highly recommended. — 7 years ago

Plum, little bit of spiciness. Really nice wine. — 4 months ago
The 15’ bottling sees Petit Verdot leading this Bordeaux blend at 32%, with 26% CS, 26% Merlot, 13% CF, and 3% Malbec.
Complex and deep nose of blackberry, cassis, fig, dry pine cone, dark soy source, butterscotch, thyme, black pepper, with hint of violet. The palate, while delicious and smooth, lacks the depth I expected. Finely grained tannins lead to a long peppery finish.
377 cases made. — 6 years ago
