Good for what it is. Tastes and smells like root beer. A little drier than NYFRB. — 10 years ago

2011 - A wonderfully expressive nose showing black olive tapenade, smoked or cured dark meat, new leather, violets and sweet plums. Deceptively structured tannin that twists around smoky but fresh blackberry fruit with a bitter liquorice root finish. Love to see it in 3-5years — 11 years ago

Ripe, cooked blueberries and blackberries in a light, bright body and the dirty backdrop of wonderful mountain wines. Tuck into a pork stew and root veggies on a clear, cool night with this sucker. — 11 years ago

The 2009 vintage is 100% Tempranillo and 14%ABV. From Ribera del Duero DO and vinified Crianza style with 15 months bottle aging subsequent to 1.5 years in French Oak barrels. This wine is elegant and integrated at only 7 years since fruit cultivation. This wine is rich and luscious with deep red fruit of cherry and red berry, baking spice, olive brine, and a hint of fresh cut spruce tips. This wine would be a perfect accompaniment for a Canadian Christmas tree ritual or a festive holiday evening dinner party with braised beef AAA pot roast or rack of lamb and braised root vegetables. With well balanced fruit, medium acidity and medium tannins this wine brings complex aromatics as well as refined mouthfeel of finesse to a structured backbone and elegant minerality. With persistence of briny green olives, deep ripe red berry and spice, this wine has a long finish which keeps giving back. Giving a festive Canadian twist, recommend pairing with Schwartz Montreal Smoked Meat brisket and Kosher pickles. — 10 years ago
