Pleasantly surprised that this wine was still viable. Served right out of the cellar to pair with baked tuna seasoned with Spanish Paprika.

Past its prime but paired well with summer picnic classics, fried chicken, baked beans and bacon, coleslaw and corn on the cob.

A few years past its prime but still good. Tastes of cherries, chewy leather, oak and pepper. Medium finish with subtle lingering tannins. Drank with roasted chicken and garlic noodles. It enhanced the peppery notes.

This revises my previous review from 3 years ago. This wine aged very well. It is a beautiful color and very smooth. It still has a peppery flavor. Let sit for an hour for full flavor.

Rich red fruit, with a hint of leather. The color is beautiful dark red, dark red cherry. The finish is smooth, spicy and medium in length. The nose tingles and is rich of fresh berries. A very nice wine.

Very good ... let it warm up and the peppery flavor comes through. Great with everything from pork chops to burgers.

Pretty good wine...I let it open up for about an hour, and tasted fruit up front with spice on the finish.
