Dark red berry fruit, orange blossom aroma, balanced natural acidity, silky texture. Pair with Med. roast meat, baked lasagna, aged cheese beside a winter fireplace! Serve at 15 - 17c. Lovely balance with food. 2nd bottle: much lighter, nose does not appear until 16c, still one of my favorites

Impressive complexity with a graphite note reminiscent of high quality cabernet. This is very hard to beat for the money.

this is the best red wine that I have tasted in a very long time. Bold yet smooth. It is a must to try.

Wow, this is a wine of amazing density and flavour. Nothing is out of place. Fine ripe fruit, oak well in check, good backbone, and a very decent finish. Lovely stuff. And $13?? You have to be kidding me. Kudos to Steve and Sara for this great recommendation. Drink now or can hold a few years for sure. Tasted July 2014.

Blackberries, mint, and chocolate on the nose. It has lots of fruit and firm tannin. This wine can age for at least another 2-3 years.

Well structured wine. A little more fruit and this would be an excellent wine. Great value.
