Very nice showing for this wine. It has long been a steakhouse restaurant favorite yet its fans remain consistent and loyal. It was a pleasure to drink this and it had been some time since enjoying this wine. Purple in color with ruby swirls. The nose is nice with cassis, cherries, cedar and spice. It has a nice sinewy texture. Softer with light tannins. On the palate, there is some depth/complexity with cassis and char. Long finish. This is drinking well now and should continue to drink well for another eight to twelve years. It drinks well on its own, and would certainly work we
From Magnum. This has held up nicely and is drinking well. Like and older Bordeaux. Ruby in color, slight bricking at the rim. The nose is nice with cassis and cherries along with some tobacco and dust. On the palate, this has layers of fruit and earthy forest floor. Good balance. This seems very food friendly. Probably a bit past prime at this point, but still with lots to offer.
This is a propreitary red blend out of Napa that seems to have a lot of Merlot in it. At under $20, there is a lot of value here. Purple in color. On the nose there is soem cherry flavors. They carry thru to the palate. Easy drinking and great for parties. There is some depth and the kind of wine that you can open with anyone and not worry.
