Fruit but not to sweet Danna — a month ago
Enjoyable blend. Moderate fruit in both nose and palate on opening. Smoothed out with some time. Great value. Will get another — 3 months ago

Crisp white Bordeaux served at friend’s hose in Kennebunk, ME (7 High) — 7 months ago
Un 2014 américain. (Il faut bien le boire un jour ). Il a été un peu long à ouvrir, mais il a encore du corps mais une belle souplesse et une belle longueur en bouche. Du fruit mûr. Très agréable. — 7 months ago
Clear, deep ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of cassis, blackberries, ans cedar; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of black cherries, black currants, eucalyptus, and wet gravel with a medium finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie didn't like it. — 15 days ago
Lightly sweet but surprisingly tart with green apple and under ripe pineapple over a touch of citrus and acacia — a month ago
2021 vintage. Immediately hit with heavy aromas of oak, spice, berry, and a slight hint of leather. Shockingly smooth on the palette, flavors of dark cherry, with a lingering finish and defined texture. Paired well with NC Barbecue chicken and spicy potatoes. Decent go to Cab for under $25. — 3 months ago

Sweet black fruits - plums. Only medium weight - restrained. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. 2012 was a cooler more moderate growing season, more claret style says Sam Middleton. This is not one of the great Quintets IMO. At its best Quintets is one of the best Cabernet blends in Australia. It still reinforces the fact that the Yarra Valley is one of the better terroirs for Bordeaux blends in Australia. Not for long cellaring. This is first of 3 of the 2012 vintage I have in my cellar. — 6 months ago

Beautiful stone fruit up front, a mellow middle, grapefruit at the end. Almost a little grape lollipop. Perfect start to a Sicilian dinner. Drinkable, a little dry ending and could be brighter. A dip in the ocean. — 18 days ago
