Commented Brian "Blimey, this ain't half bad!" Ken enjoyed the spicy nose with cherry and was also impressed with the value. Kim found it smoky and dusty with cherry.
Brian said it "tastes like it costs more" than $16 and that it smelled like stewed prunes. Kim called it a nice wine at a good price. Jean felt it needed a bit more time in the bottle.
It spends 22 months in 85% European oak and 15% American oak. Brian called it a serious wine and said it "maybe needs more time to acquire a sense of humor."
