Beautiful, elegant, ripe and dry light & mid red fruits. Red licorice & cola, super soft chalkiness, round semi-sweet earth with crushed rocks, beautiful acid and long ripe elegant fruit finish. Friends of ours brought this to dinner and I'm calling the winery to buy an allocation tomorrow. — 10 years ago

Opened up with supper expressive aromatics of red bramble fruit with a hint of stoniness. Juicy and open. A little grippy on the back. Another couple years and this should be hitting its stride. Always love this wine. Great value. Definitely a producer that should be better know, but is gladly sub rosa. — 11 years ago

First vintage bottled under the new Eagle Peak AVA. Already drinking fantastic out of the bottle with a perfectly perfumed nose and a texture that tells you stems were involved during fermentation. About 15% carbonic maceration on this vintage. — 10 years ago

I was skeptical at first...inky black and 15.3 ABV, but the wine is well balanced with plenty of freshness and lift. Just the ticket with tonight's daube de boeuf. — 10 years ago

Smells blue, like the color of a washed blueberry. Balances huge power and blue fruit with a clean cut. Not gloppy at all. — 11 years ago
