Purple, soft and round, fine tannins nothing grippy, drinking well, almost like a cinnamon smell on nose. Good balance. Nice drinkable wine.

Lovely balance of fruit and tannins. Delicious now but will be even better in 5+ years.

Vin Chicago Holiday Wine & Champagne Tasting (Makray GC, Barrington) : Deep youthful color with notes of plum and violet, very typical of these wines in my experience. Tannins are very fine and balance the abundant black cabernet fruit on the palate. Youthfully firm, but the components are there. Needs some time sideways; plenty of upside.

Lots of oak and tannins. This could have been much nicer if I had waited.

I knew this was a mistake to open now but I wanted something to go with my house burger (*) besides all of the Pinots I've got sitting around. Decanted for almost 2 hours and barely drinkable for all the oak and structure. Like a barrel tasting. Food helped but it was almost a distraction from the great burger. Decant and drink 2027-2040. *ground Bison at 150f still SLIGHTLY pink center, Morbier cheese, caramelized sweet onion with a touch of …

From a Coravin: Ton of American oak on the nose and palate that dissipates after a couple hours leaving watery red fruit in its wake. Very unbalanced and doubt it will get any better.

Heavy fruit and poor balance of palate Pedaled by total wine as a classic Paso Robles Cab but I disagree - tastes more like a Washington Pinot noir. A bit too much sour taste with initial impression

Very nice wine. Earthy nose, full body, with dark fruit and smooth tannins. A good buy!
