This blend of 85% Cab and 15% Shiraz Is just coming around. Nose of red and black fruits, spices, and leather with a tad of meat. All come across on the finish. Deep ruby. Solid entry, weighty center and close to a 4-lapper finish. Still some healthy tannins that kick in and should be resolved in 3-5. Well-made solid bottling that should improve. 88/89 28 by the box. 13.6% alc. WW

Improving with every bottle. The nose was more assertive, and the fruit more up-front. This mite make the classic rating by case end. No change WW

Well now that I've knocked off the box this last bottle finally has delivered what the early bottles promised. Dad-Burnit! This has developed into a killer bottle of juice. Not only has the nose flowered, but the finish has expanded along with the finish. Take this lil'-darlin up to a solid 91. In the words of the mity Inspecitoorr" Shoulda' buyed more" WW
