edub's Review:

Nicely balanced, with zesty, dry, cranberry like fruit, with decent tannins, and ripe with acidity.Great value!

edub's Review:

Big, smokey fruit, oak, dark cherries, but well balanced with good structure and acidity. Will cellar for a bit, but a joy to drink now. Decanting recommended. A real great value.

edub's Review:

I found this one currently at K & L wines for $29.99Tight out of the bottle, nose of red fruits, spice, oak, with good acidity and tannins. After decanting for 2+ hours this wine really opened up, and started to show off its class and elegance. It become more integrated and refined. Real pretty floral fruits and well structured with good length. A bit classic /old school, and A real joy to drink.

edub's Review:

After decanting for 3+ hours.dusty nose, filled with spice, glove, and bright fruits, yet subtle. Strawberry and cherry fruit are at the core of this wine. A hint of oak comes in at the entry but integrate well. The fruit and flavors have great length and class. Days later, the taste still linger.

edub's Review:

red currant , black cherries, and a touch of subtle, vanilla oak, with a fresh mid palate that is powerful and yet retains finesse, with a concentrated and dry finish. A slight flash of new world wine making here, but it's lush and the tannins along with the acidity help out. Should prove to be a stellar one. Decant for least 4+ hours, or cellar for several years, and hold your breath for the magic.

edub's Review:

dark berries, with leather and spice, bright fruit, rich jam, yet, complex with good acidity and a solid nose. excellent.A bridge to the old and new world wines.

edub's Review:

wow, rich, dense, jam packed fruit,dark fruit, bright berries, +java, attacking the front, mid, and back palate. Complex with great length, and a 5 minute finish. A pure joy to taste, and to TASTE again!

edub's Review:

jam packed with cherry and strawberry fruit, spice, pepper, and good acidity along with a tad of finesse. Very nice.

edub's Review:

always a solid wine, this red shows a floral nose with spice, bright cherries,white pepper, and cured meats. This bottle has more finesse and acidity than previous vintages, and is very nice.

edub's Review:

we knew we were drinking this young, so we gave it about 6 hours of decanting, with some sips along the way.Nose of bright berry fruit, nice acidity, tea, spices, plum compote, more strawberries, and red licorice. It became more integrated by the time we were ready to drink it, but it was still very tight, and only starting to show its dimension and class. Needs a lot more time, special juice here.
