Solid. Hit and miss with this winery. I've liked it 2/3 times I've tried it. This 2007 vintage is a good one.

8 years old, well kept. Cork looked good. Very smooth, flavorful. No bite, very soft tannins, all on the finish. Delicious

Deep ruby. Big cab nose. Distinguished musty mint and forest floor. Explosive black cherry, dates, with mellow tannins. Rivers of goodness, with a nice lingering finish.

Underwhelming. Funk on the nose and throughout multiple glasses. Not sure if it's past it's prime, a subpar bottle, or just not great. No improvement after 2hrs of air. Very easy to drink but lacks fruit and tannins. Much better wines out there at this price point.

Deep ruby red. Tight as well on the nose like the 2012, but not as dark. Dirty on the attack of the nose with sweet spices, a touch of dark berries, and woody. Well integrated medium tannins (6.5/10) with a medium to medium plus body. Smoky palate with plums, woody notes, gravel, and a touch of blue fruit. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2019.

2007. Intense dark fruit with loads of tannins. This wine will surely last another decade or longer, but it drinks well now too.

Smooth, flavorful with a nice finish. The cork looks good as well. Nice for sipping or enjoying with a steak.

Good but nothing special, a solid wine but doesn't stand up to any other '07 at the price point and prolly fall apart soon enough
