2014 has come to fruition!! Brown sugar beaches awash in maple nut, peach stone, amarula fruit and cinnamon bread aromas knitted tightly with golden malt thread. Perfect texturally, velvety brown sugar, cedar, sweet tobacco, vanilla bean, chocolate milk, vanilla extract on applewood. The full spectrum! — 9 years ago
CDP meets merlot. Buttered roll with herbal peppermint breath. Smoke and applewood, vanilla on the grill atop toasty peanut butter and melted butter. Definitely a very different Merlot! Grippy smoky almost stemmy green tannins, with a burnt edge. Almost St Joseph-esque. Really big fruit tannins emerge, but the smoke
and the oak don't stop! Smoky the Boer! — 11 years ago
Yummy. Smooth and Creamy. Mmmm. From Belvedere French Part 1 Pairing. Served with Salad Lyonnaise (poached egg, applewood bacon and mustard dressing) with our dinner (3-8) Chicken Tikka (Food and Wine cookbook) — 11 years ago
Drinking very nicely on a beautiful evening around the fire pit with chicken and pears with butter, honey and Blue cheese, smoked on the green egg with a little Applewood! Bordeaux through and through with some berries still coming through, and very well balanced. Yummy. — 9 years ago
For the price point, this wine rocks the house. This is absolutely just beyond delicious for 30$. Id buy cases of this if they were available, but they're not, for a reason. Jammy brambly fruit, blueberries, elderberry and raspberry preserves with nutmeg, pepper, caraway seed and a cedar almost applewood like finish. I am blown away truly. — 10 years ago
Smooth and delicious. Perfect pairing with fresh baked Bear Cafe bread and grass fed filet mignon with Stilton blue cheese, mashed potatoes, and roasted Brussel sprouts with applewood smoked bacon. -2012 vintage ...celebrating our 13th anniversary! — 10 years ago

Violets, blue and blackberry, pepper, baked strawberry, applewood, warm black earth, apple pie and mincemeat spice, magnolia and pungent tropical flowers flourish on a broken pencil finish. Tannins articulate a natural, amorphous refinement, surfacing in unpredictable quadrants. Like fog rising from a dense pine forest, unpredictably. — 10 years ago
Not usually a Red Wine drinker but this is so good! Not dry or bitter but not sweet either! Purchased from a wine trail visit during the fall; I WILL be ordering more😉 — 10 years ago

Smoked meats on the nose. Dark cherries on the palate. Paired with Kelly Briglio's "The Standard" burger. 6oz grass fed beef wrapped in smoked applewood bacon with Piquillo peppers & chipotle Chile ketchup, roast garlic & grainy mustard aioli, local tomato, shaved onion mixed greens on an artisan burger roll. — 9 years ago
