Spice. Good body but not overpowering. Citrus hint trying to make its way into the mix. Quite delicious. — 9 years ago

Never disappointed with this wine!! Opened and decanted before dinner and just kept getting better! Beautiful, perfumey nose....soft tannins, nice mix of chocolate and fruit. Fantastic with our porcini ribeye. #josephphelps — 10 years ago

This really does need a good ol decant but has wonderful concentration, very deep, almost broody nose of intense blackcurrant and dark plum fruit as well as a strange but very attractive mix of blueberry & graphite, almost heading towards prune.
A very well balanced mid palate though seems to be somewhat lacking in acidic lift overall but the fruit seems well integrated with the tannins, slightly underripe black berry fruit and with some grip on the finish, food would benefit this wine at the moment but it would be interesting to see how this comes along. Feels like it would benefit from at least another 5 years in bottle. Decent length. — 11 years ago

I really came to like this one. The pedigree of the vineyard is unassailable & while this opened on the first day with a jumbled mix of bracing acid backed with some opulent creaminess which eventually came together and showed a lemon curd richness tamed by acidic tension. Fantastic stuff. — 9 years ago

Fantastic mix of berry fruit, earth, spices. A very seductive wine with immense power and long finish. — 10 years ago

Really interesting. Paired with a very eclectic mix at Passionfish and rocked the whole way through it. At $36 on the list. A steal. — 10 years ago

The blend really brings out subtle notes from both grapes and makes a smooth but intriguing mix of flavors. One of my favorites for the price. — 11 years ago
