Enjoyed this at the ritz @ northstar with martha and Tom for martha’s birthday. Sommelier recommended. Well structured rich red with hints of rose petal, sandlewood and pomegranate. So says the sommelier. Dofinately again — 6 years ago

This wine ages very well. Definitely time to open it if you have it. Decanted for 3 hours and it was very smooth. — 8 years ago

The most-est, wonderful-est screw-top red ever! Deep purple Shiraz (67%) Cab (33%) olives, raspberries cherries and more! $75 retail. Had for about 2x that (not a bad wine list markup) at the Ritz Carlton at Northstar for 34th wedding anniversary dinner. Awesome dinner, awesome service topped only by dinner companion! — 9 years ago

Nice blend. This has really smoothed out. Tastes more Merlot to me even though its only 46% compared to the 56% Cab. Nice wine. — 7 years ago
