2/5/2023 - WineRyder Likes this wine: 84 pointsA bit high on acidity but Well balanced otherwise, like the fact it’s 2015. Tannins are in the back and play for another minute, body 3-4 (surprisingly for petit Verdot), acidity 5 solid throw balance off, dry 5 well balanced |

12/15/2021 - Lyonspat13 wrote: 90 pointsReally interesting to try an all Petite Verdot blend. The fruit is really bold here (blackberries and plums) and dominates the nose. On the palate the fruit is moderated somewhat by medium+ acid that keeps the wine from being too over the top. I imagine this is really benefiting from the 11+ years of age and would have been overpowering earlier on. As it stands now would be a good ‘steak wine’ however not much complexity. |

12/12/2021 - Pinkflash Likes this wine: NRNeeded to Come to room temp. Cork broke should have used AH-So. Very smooth. Deep rich color. Non-existing tannins. Glad we have one more bottle. Hidden gem for small winery in Calistoga Ca! |

10/16/2019 - dzal808@gmail.com wrote: 90 pointsExcellent bottle. Decanted 1/2 bottle for a short while and drank over a couple hours. Held up well but didn't change too much. Probably close to it's peak. Poured half into a split bottle and the second night it was just as good so it might have a year or two left. |
