Probably losing ground quickly judging from the alcohol heat but very happy to have had this bottle. Definitely an Amarone thing going on, with the balance going to Cosentino’s deft touch, dark fruits, leather. Impressive acidity.

Totally in the right place at this time. If you have some be very thankful - and go drink it now! Just a perfect Meritage blend that tastes like a $200-300 wine.

Very nice red from Cosentino. Bouquet was delightful, with dark fruit and slight oakiness, very pleasant! Palette has dark plum berry and black cherry coming through, but not overwhelming, its balancing out and the tannins are also finishing nice, but no longer says I am a cab, its saying more that I am becoming a mature wine. I wish this was not my last bottle! Next couple of years should show it maturing nicely.

Wed night...wine night. Pop and pour. Purple/pomegranite color & classy nose... senses of both an array of dark fruit and plenty of tannin to match - I like it already. This is a very very good wine and perhaps peaking(?) but I'd bet 7 years from now it will be the same. It bloomed over 1 & 1/2 hr so decant or let it change in the glass if you like. It isn't really all that complex and there's the …

a friend gave us this bottle, it was fantastic! Smooth and luscious, but not full bodied. Perfect time to drink.

Consumed with dinner at Fleur De Lys in SF. No formal notes, but this was a nice '02 blend with good ripe fruit and plenty of tannins left in the tank. This went well with fillet and even duck (sommelier even joked that he was glad I didn't just drink Pinot with duck - I don't think he picked up the sarcasm when I said that I found '02 to be an 'under rated' vintage).

Rich tasty and lots and lots of tannins left. I would recommend waiting at least 2 more years on this one. Yummy now though - those who like wine younger will adore this - older, I would wait maybe even longer than 2 years.
