Trying an earlier vintage. Wonderful. Powerful cassis notes and a balanced finish. Elegant.

Was expecting a bigger fruit bomb - the dark fruits are accounted for.. dark plum, smashed berry. Cocoa powder, fresh black pepper & salinity. Better than expected.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, cedar, licorice, spices, tobacco, vanilla, stewed tomatoes, peppercorn, mint, earth, chocolates and coffee.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, dried figs, raisins, vanilla, spices, leather, earth, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, coke, peppercorn, coffee and mocha.

Spicy long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a fabulous red blend from Paso Robles. Complex with a great mouthfeel. Shows nice balance now.

Feels like a Napa Cabernet. I really loved the nose. Palate is delicious. The Reserve is definitely better than the regular version.

Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show itself, and will age nicely in the next 10 years.

Rich and opulent. Tasty, spicy and intense. I love these Bordeaux blends. Delicious all by itself.

Thank you John for sharing.

Bright medium. Red fruit on the nose, big raspberry with black licorice on the nose. Spearmint hides underneath. On the the palate it's a perfect sphere. No residual sugar, well balanced. Not much in terms of tannins else this would be a home run. Dynamite wine, drink it now.
