Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a firmly fruity, tart, steak-friendly wine with some good ‘grip’ and a solid core of peppery black cherry fruit. Light notes of licorice and roasted coffee finish up quickly; the blend includes six percent merlot. 2500 cases were made.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is pure Merlot, and gets off quickly with fresh, forward fruit flavors of mixed berries. The acids seem chalky and unintegrated, so the wine falls apart in the midpalate and never quite recovers.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a nice everyday example of why Pinot Gris is catching on. It's a crisp, dry wine, with peach and apricot flavors and a nice streak of minerality that leads to a zesty, clean aftertaste.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Shows some decent complexity for a bargain-priced Syrah, blending herbal, grassy notes with cinnamon, vanilla and blackberries, all wrapped in a light-bodied package. Reveals some tea-like notes on the finish.
