Nice at a party, two glasses were enough, fruity. — 3 months ago
Had a bottle at Whispering Vine in Reno. A nice Cab/Shiraz. A bit of plum, grape, and stewed fruit on the nose with some pepper on the bud. Nice tannins with a bit of sediment. Overall a nice wine that wine well with our South Creek Pizza Shuffle Truffle pizza. — 2 years ago
Deep dark plum in the glass. Basically impenetrable. A touch of bricking on the thin edges. On the nose, the fruit is barely clinging on but still present. Plums and blueberries are the dominant notes here. A heavy dose of toasted cedar and green bell peppers. There’s faint floral aromas of violets along with a shock of burnt tobacco.
This is about as Napa as Napa gets. I was quite worried about how this Cab would present but it’s still alive and kicking. The end may be nigh but not quite nigh enough. Pleasant acid and well integrated tannins. Big and rich as you would expect an Oakville Cab to be but still smooth after hours of decanting. Plenty of chocolate with a dash of vanilla. The fruit on the tongue is diminished and subtle but still showing pretty well. Cherry pie and blueberry cobbler. The finish is medium length with just a touch of soft spice. This was so much fun and a great experience. Definitely mature and knocking on the door of almost gone but still good, nonetheless. — 3 years ago
One of the best roses I have drank. Clear and elegant taste. Long fruity aftertaste. — 3 months ago
Aroma of flinty strawberries. Tart strawberries berries upfront. Watermelon comes into play in the middle. Then a quick bone dry finish. — 2 years ago
Apricots - some nice fruit flavor. But alcohol is out of balance. I prefer whispering angel of Declan’s roses. — 3 years ago
Proper French rose with the strawberry notes to go along with it. Reminds me of a budget version of whispering Angel. — 5 years ago

This has lovely Shiraz fruit that shows redfruits and an all-spice note as well, unlike my previous note from just last year, this now seems mature or very close to it, quite long finish, from fruit grown in a single vineyard near Mt. Barker in the Great Southern region of Western Australia!! — 15 days ago
