At Highland Avenue in Hickory, NC — 10 years ago
Plum strawberries with strawberry liqueur and underripe blueberries nose. Oaky-tasting, smoky, black plum palate with cedar and hickory. This thing swings wood like Babe Ruth, yet remains nude and almost oak less as an actual babe. — 11 years ago

Really enjoyed this! — 10 years ago
Pale ruby color with thin legs. Seductive aromas of sage, vanilla, sweet hickory smoke, red cherries, cola, and rhubarb. Medium juicy tannins, medium body, with additional notes on the palate reminiscent of cloves and strawberry PopTarts! Med + finish, room to improve with bottle age for sure. Delicious, and varietally true to its terroir. — 10 years ago

Great taste of summer, but great wine any meal. Try with a winning hand in poker or take to share on the top of a hill with a great view. Balanced , smooth — 13 years ago
A little young.. a bit of air really opened up the nose and revaled currants and pepper with undertones of violets and hickory. Super clean on the palate. Elegant and classy — 10 years ago
Opaque violet color with appealing roasted meat, roasted black fruit, smoke and a hint of truffle aromas. On the palate it's medium bodied with very good acidity and soft well integrated tannins and a hint of minerality with concentrated roast boysenberry, plum, blueberry and hickory
flavors. Long finish. — 10 years ago
Wine tasting in Cambria- very smooth, easy sipping! — 10 years ago
