May 17, 2019 - Pop and pour so to speak (screwcap closure) and enjoyed over two days. Open and ready to drink but also didn't evolve much over two days. Elegantly styled with gentle red fruits.
May 11, 2019 - Soft cherries on the palate...a bit of an herby nose.
April 9, 2017 - Going downhill. Drink up!
December 15, 2012 - D60; G15; 4.5+8+4+8.5+8.5+4*+4*; As always, great color, balance and potential. Subtle aromas not leaping out of the glass, but light cherry and floral; flavors are layered light red fruits - cherry, raspberry; great silky, smooth, long finish that smacks delicious. Not sure if the aroma will emerge with time, but its lightness is the only real diminishing note to this wine. Another great effort and well-priced at $65. Should improve over the next few years. Light decant with improvements over an hour; additional opening up in the glass. Will likely be much better in a year or two with several years of drinking window; may add a point to the score = 93.
August 17, 2011 - Big 'Sweet' fruit coming across, perfume/raisin, stemmy. Touch of Heat [may be do to it being younger] Have had 07/08 and they never had a problem with heat
April 30, 2011 - The nose is tart and totally awesome! It reminds me of a delicious rhubarb crisp with all of the tart, earthy, and sweet notes you can imagine. I can't wait to dive in! It's delicate on contact showing roses alongside the rhubarb crisp suggested on the nose. Spice mixes with rhubarb and strawberry flavors, and the tannins and acidity work gently and set in slowly. the structure is light and delicate which works well to make this wine very approachable right away. 90+
