9.4

Excellent wine with opulent black fruit - blackberry, cassis, black cherry, eucalyptus, violet, vanilla, cedar and clove. Tertiary notes are beginning to emerge - forest floor, leather, tobacco and dried cassis. Rich texture but well balanced despite 15.5% abv. Long finish, outstanding quality. — 7 days ago

9.3

Blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruit, floral and minty herbs, mix of mountain and valley floor vineyards. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and currants with cacao and oak notes. Full-body, well balanced with fine tannins on a long finish, ending with fruit, oak and spice. Will age well. Very Nice! — 6 months ago

Earthy, herbaceous, and with aeration, bing cherry enough to pull the novice drinker over to the geek side of funk and farm Pinot. — 2 years ago

Black label. Cool dragon. Smells are cassis and stems. Flavors are sharp and really complex. A clastic Cab with all the bells and whistles. Tannins are still there and they might mellow down. Big blackberry and black currants. — 6 months ago
