Smooth, dry. Would drink again! — 12 years ago
Dark fruit balanced through old oak showing light spice on the nose encouraging thought to nail a specific note but is remaining a bit of an enigma in my rock rattled head after a good day enhanced by 75 MPH Harley induced wind and the brilliance of Bose and an iPhone. Ok, back to the wine, it touches, lightly grabs spreading its dark berry mini-burst in a layered earth touched tannin slow ride making magic with some of Chapel Hill's Bin 54's straight up amazing goodness (in this case very rare filet mignon, garlic tinged green beans and almond slivers; my go to steak spot in NC). Damn, this is all so right-on! Cheers! — 10 years ago

Another stunning effort was the '11 Cambria Pinot Noir 'Clone 23'. It's was amazing to detect the subtle variations the different clones made on the aromatic and flavor profiles. This effort showcased creamy dark fruit flavors on the mouth with lush sweet tannins on the lingering finish. — 11 years ago
Matt likes this. Blue cheese, mild/no oak, soft tannins, powerful fruit, crowd pleaser — 11 years ago
One of the better "chocolate stout" variations I've ever had. Far better than Young's. (which is quite good actually) — 13 years ago

Love this wine - it is an enigma! Makes me want to drink more from Ciro. Light and translucent, glossy purple, depth develops over the hour. 2012 vintage — 10 years ago
