Great wine from an up-and-coming winemaker. Got to give a shout out to my boy Daniel Benton, a hometown North Carolina boy! — 12 years ago
My favorite wine again! — 13 years ago
Leather, black cherry, licorice, and some cinnamon on the nose. Medium bodied. Rich impression of fruit on the palate—black cherry and licorice. Some chalky minerality. Nice balance of elements. This bottle has been open for two days now and the depth has, um, deepened...
A Languedoc GSM and pretty darn good! — 11 years ago
Wow.... Earthy yet light contrast after taste. Wonderful with light bouquet. — 12 years ago
Bottle age has added some Northern Rhône Funk...like a Croze or St Joseph. But still finishing with ripe fruit. Plum, rhubarb, wild game and wet cement fill the mid palette. — 12 years ago
