This is a dark and extracted wine smelling of black currants, pencil lead, and floral notes such as violets. Very young, moderate grip, dark cassis berry with black cherry overtones. To me, this is prototypical mountainside Cabernet Sauvignon from Northern California. I would love to taste this in another 10 years when it settles down. — 11 years ago
Still young, but drinks easy for a young Barolo. decant for at least two hours. Beautiful rose petal floral nose, with vibrant cherry, hints of tar and what to me seems almost like menthol, moving to a slightly tart cherry note on the finish. Not overly tannic but pleasantly chewy on the aftertaste that lingers nicely. Great price point will probably get another bottle and cellar for five years. 2010 vintage. Nebbiolo. — 12 years ago
So, while NYE is shining its face of glam and glitter, this old-school favorite blue-jean lady miniskirted her way into my night with dark skin memorably imprinting shear silk as her long legs grab and dance. Very interesting wild-wood nose showing rabbit tobacco, recently barned and stacked hay dripping with spilled plum against new oak adding resin grabbing blueberry all playing with a night fire-funnel warming and suggesting another swig that goes chocolate then back to the berries lingering and seductively clinging -"Ohhh it makes me wonder, what's going on, under, the...." Balanced and beautiful, needing an acid hit to find Nirvana .., that written, drink it up, down, .... — 10 years ago

Mencia, new for me! Deep ruby. Med intensity. Black currant, Cedar and smoke aromas. Med+ tannin, med+ body, med+ acidity . Black fruits, sour cherry, cedar, spice. Decent finish. Probably better in another year — 10 years ago
We loved this one! Smelled absolutely divine. There was some cherry-ness in there for me, especially in the last glass. Should definitely get another bottle of this. — 11 years ago
