Should have aged this wine for a decade. Forest and ocean mist, limestone quality to the tannin structure. Excellent wine. — 10 years ago
Right out of the bottle faint post rain rock, moss, and leather first pour nose showing deep red front-mouth fruit with youthful tannins that will coax your tongue to the roof of your mouth and groovy acid slowing things down letting the moment linger, penetrate, and compliment the amazing meatballs served up by Ben Barker (of Magnolia Grill Durham) at his son's amazing new pizzeria, in Carrboro, NC (do not miss!!)
More on this wine soon, but @13% alcohol and low $s, it's good stuff for sure! — 10 years ago

Otto! Veramente ben fatto. Bel equilibrio e legno dosato in maniera perfetta. Bravi! — 10 years ago
A huge surprise on the upside. All the appropriate Cabernet descriptors plus Rich, concentrated, long and satisfying with notes of mint, cassis and dark chocolate. 50 year old vines from Langhorne Creek contributing to the richness. Turned 10 years old as of a few hours ago. — 10 years ago
Bright candied cherry, coriander, sandalwood, five spice, black pepper. Vibrant and fruit driven. Ben Cane getting it done in 2012. — 11 years ago

Great post Italian food at iTalico — 9 years ago
Smells a little like cotton candy and exhibits notes of cedar, clove, prune, cherry, red rose, eucalyptus with perceivable mint-traits. In another dimension this may be a cousin of Heitz's Martha's Vineyard. Awesome to have with bbq'd steak, garlic bread and knowing this is the only winery for this AVA ( just 20 miles south of where I got to imbibe this 400 case production of local goodness. ) — 10 years ago
Fruity sparkling flavor! — 10 years ago
Big bold Cabernet - delicious full fruit with a wonderfully smooth long finish. Thanks Ben! — 10 years ago
Yes again. Love this. Everyday swill! — 11 years ago

Monthly WTF wine group. Special event this month as Ben provided all ‘80s Napa cabs. A few of us chipped in and provided some whites/bubbly.
Toasted Graham cracker, cassis, and even some old cedar wood. Structure was still in tact and young tasting. — 8 years ago
