Lots of plumy fruit flavors. Hints of cola and tobacco. A bit young but quite good for the price point. A little astringent alcohol on the finish, but bottle age should smooth that out. Excellent value for a CDP. Revisited in February 2020. As predicted, the astringency has mellowed out. Wine comes out of the bottle very fruit forward, but the organics come to the surface in short order. Thank you Keith S. — 7 years ago
2005 Cherry and tobacco- spice, just past prime. Still good tannins but a slightly fortified impression. — 8 years ago
This is the Block I cab from St Helena winery. Pretty impressed with how this has held up - still a lot of fruit on the nose, while at the same time acquiring some nice secondary components on both the nose and the palate. My guess is that this one is probably at peak - wouldn't recommend holding onto it for too much longer. — 8 years ago

The reserve nose opens up with Initially with a waft of VA but then with air displays aromas dried purple flowers, stewed fruits, moss and pine needles. This could have really benefited from one hour decant and warmed up. No need to hold this unless you’re intrigued - I would drink this now without reservation. — 6 years ago
St. Croix vineyard MN. Art & Wine Festival. Very good. Taste vanilla. Cherry & blackberry — 6 years ago
Jaune franc
Nez assez muet et s ouvre sur des notes florales et anisées puis devient plus epice
Bouche ample charnue voir épaisse avec un petit manque de fraicheur mais une aromatique en finale sur les herbes infusées et le miel
Beau vin peut être un peu sur la réserve ce jour

Very delicate; sweetness on palate. Amazing with desserts and even cheese pizzas. — 8 years ago
Engaging with notes of cherry and olives. A bit simple with short finish but very accessible wine. Opened and poured after about 15 minutes of air — 6 years ago
Nose has smokey dry earth, dry lavender, old licorice, dried black cherry, ripe black currant, dried blackberry and (light) dried oak.
Palate has silky dried blackberry, ripe plum, black currant jam, (light) dark chocolate, dried blueberry and light tannins. Mouth coating texture. Future bottles should be 2023+
50% Grenache & 50% Mourvédre
Paired with a bottom round beef roast, slow cooked 8+ hours with autumn root vegetables and the au jus from the roast, thickened with a little of my own tomato paste, delicious. — 6 years ago
