A friend brought over one of his wine club bottles. They send him their latest releases. Man it was good.

Heavy body blend. More cab than anything, but very powerful berry on the nose. Dark in color, almost like old Bordeaux, which is what its description on the bottle says it is a blend of.

“Aromas of black fruit and tobacco intertwine with complex coffee, plum and vanilla flavors.” – Description on the bottle, and quite accurate.

I think they are about $50 a bottle now as a pre release, but will be in the $80’s pretty soon. Get a case now before they bump the price up. I liked it enough to order a case of 12 bottles. It’s definitely on my top five list.
