Last bottle of these. Great tasting, nicely balanced. Big Ty wine as usual.

Fruity, fizzy, and fun.

Doing nicely - on PnP aromas of dark cherry and plum mixed with a bit of nonspecific herb that made it very interesting. As it got air the acidity came more to the front while retaining the fruitiness. Nice wine overall. Unsure when the last bottle should be drunk.

Consistent with last time. Dark fruit, pepper, and a slightly sour finish. Good party wine.

I usually like Ty. This one does not have quite the same body or flavor, but it is supposed to be the daily drinker at this price point. Even after 5 years it still feels somewhat unbalanced. But, there are nice currant and berry tones.

Took two bottles to a dinner party for with appetizers. Very well received. Ty's wines are crowd pleasers.

Surprisingly green at this point, but otherwise just what I'd expect from Ty: juicy, acid balance, ripe, solid. Still gong strong and no need to rush, but I would also say there's no longer a need to wait specifically.

Consistent with prior note. Soft, plush red fruit, oak, and a shortish finish. Nothing special, but it disappears fast.

- Garnet color and aromas of prune, black currant and oak. It's unbalanced and has flavours of black currant, blackberry, oak and vanilla with a medium/full body. Angular texture with a medium finish - Definite carbonation on the first glass. Smoothed somewhat, but still a bit off.

Medium dark ruby red. Raspberry, blueberry, and oak nose. Medium bodied, tart, highly extracted cherries, cranberries, dried spices, soft tannins, a bit of tar, some heat, and a short to medium finish. The first glass had a touch of spritz at the end, but later glasses did not. A simple but relatively well made fruit bomb. Fine at the woot price.

Nice quality wine after 1 hr decant, was not tannic but it was not quite ready right after poured. More an all purpose wine than the Field Blend that begged to be paired with steak. I'm glad I cellared these, should be interesting for another couple years to get more age on them.

Second bottle I've had, second bottle that had spritz. This is annoying as I have 6 more, and it is turning out to be a very poor investment.

"spritz" is the only way to describe it. took a sip, my wife took a sip, and then we poured the rest of the bottle down the drain.

Nice wine, but I think it was a bit primary on a pop & pour. Good fruit, earth, and lots of structure, but I felt this was aching for some air. Give it another year for full enjoyment. Drink 2012+.

This spritz thing is apparently out of hand. Really disappointed, hope the rest of the bottles are ok.

Easy wine to like. Needs to open up a little but nice cocoa finish stood out to me. Very close to the Ty red. Great qpr. edit: had another bottle recently (9/5/11) and it reminded me how fantastic this stuff is. very rich and velvet like, and of course the more it opens the more you get that subtle chocolate finish. this stuff can hang with some of the big boys ive had...and so far no spritz, one bottle left

Another bottle with spritz. Such a disappointment, as the first two (before the spritz showed up) were pretty good...and I've still got three left.

P&P, nice fruit, decent structure, a bit on the tannic side still, but quite serviceable.
