Second wine we are trying tonight and the same name as my mom. Garnet red with a crimson core. Nose started off with a slight smokiness that wore off to plums, dark cherries, and some light strawberries. Very interesting undertone of thick and creamy dark cocoa. Slight baking spices on the palate with some dark cherries and plums. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) with a strong structured body. Slight dryness to the finish. Definitely needs a couple years to fully integrate and becoming a stunning WA Bordeaux. Drink from 2017 till 2028. 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. — 9 years ago

I feel as if someone's going to jump out and tell me I've been Punk'd with this wine. So far, Ashton is nowhere to be seen. For 8.99 this bottle insane! Why are they selling it for so cheap? This really is one of the best tasting value wines I've come across in a long while. I'm still looking over my shoulder for a camera crew... — 9 years ago
