solomania9's Review:

A sweet zinny nose. In the mouth it explodes with bright fruit and acid but balances out quickly with a long sweet finish that's not spicy like I was expecting. Altogether it's a very well-done and enjoyable wine.

solomania9's Review:

lean but bright red core of cherry fruit. nice bit of oak.

solomania9's Review:

Huge cherry nose with tons of spice. In the mouth a pleasant cacophony of oak and eucalyptus packed around a tight plucky core of bright red fruit. Oozes class. Love it.

solomania9's Review:

Dirty mineraly nose. Well balanced soft mouthfeel with dark fruits and more dirt on the palate, but in the good way. Gently departing finish. Very peculiar, but enjoyable.

solomania9's Review:

Sweet toasted oak with dirty earth on the nose. Perfectly balanced mellow black cherries with a lean toward plums and a slightly sweet long gentle finish. This is some great stuff.

solomania9's Review:

Sweet uber ripe strawberries and black cherries on the nose. Packs a huge candied dry dusty body with lots of complexity and a long meandering finish. I'm kind of amazed I picked this up for $20.00 at a local wine shop! Might have to pick up a few more...

solomania9's Review:

Got a whiff of cotton candy on the nose. Lots of ripe well balanced fruit dominated by black cherries and a syrupy finish.

solomania9's Review:

Complex nose with some prickly white wool. Very tannic and lean in the mouth with a soft lingering finish.

solomania9's Review:

Spicy nutty nose. A soft flavor of musty yellow caramel and a good deal of lactic acid. Interesting for a glass but not two.

solomania9's Review:

Lean and yellow - not unlike a Rioja, but with more of that subtle Bordeaux wet wool. Currants and pepper with a nice surprisingly long thundery finish.
