OMG!!! Soooo good! This is Bordeaux at its best! Amazing concentration opened to beautiful fruit, soft and luscious on the pallet. The finish is FOREVER - still tasting it a good 30 minutes after squeezing the last drop out of my decanter! This is wine that gets people hooked on wine!! Not to be missed!

Not as refined as some of our Napa Valley labels but a solid and very drinkable wine, especially with brownies.

Fantastic! Complex yet mellow in composition. Vanilla up front with hints of a dry fruit punch on the finish.

Drink or hold - more right bank Bordeaux than Cali cab. The tannins are still noticeable, so have it with food. Tar and asphalt are primary followed by dark blue fruit. Glad to try this first vintage badassary on my birthday
