Big rich. Very nice. This is made for ages. Wait. Black currant/Blackberry. Great oak management long. Mark D. is doing a great job with this his one! Almost sweet but this will fade over time. Not my style but great wine. — 8 years ago

Even people who think they don't like Merlot love this wine. I'm particularly fond of this vintage. Lush, full body and delicious. — 9 years ago

2000 vintage. Huge grassy aroma upon opening. After lengthy decanting, a phenomenal beautiful cab franc emerges, fine tannins, with lush texture and layers of flavor that build to an apex of cold smooth stone, fennel and a slight hint of tobacco. 5.75 out of 6 Jeffersons. This is a gorgeous Loire Valley red, from a badass winemaker. — 10 years ago

Masculine. Hits the apex of depth and concentration of all these wines. The fruits, the herbs, the minerals, the earth, all things are so brooding and intensely weighty on the palate. Definitely needs time/air to align itself — 8 years ago

This was a big wine, yet of the European style. Made in the Brian Carter era of Apex, this was his last venture with creating straight variatal wines before his BC Cellars start. I held on to this bottle since 2004 to drink it. Took 2 days to open up and it was still tight!! $36 / 95pts — 11 years ago
