  September 5, 2021 - Mid to full body. Still nice fruit. Can be even smoother within few years. Not too much complexity but definitely have a few layers

  December 6, 2020 - Very nice mellow fullness on backbone of decent tannin. Lots of fruit, earth, licorice, and other notes. Decanted 60 minutes; moderate debris on decant. Great with Prime Rib Roast.

  June 1, 2019 - This was excellent, a very ncie surprise (since it was not in my cellar listing). Drinking very well with soft dark cherry and dark plum fruit. Reasonably soft with fine tannins, nice bite of acidity, but overall this came across as pretty smooth and ripe. Nice long finish.

  August 21, 2017 - PnP, Consumed over two nights. Interesting Cab/Syrah blend. Tasting blind, I think I would have guessed Merlot, as it has that round palate-filling quality, but without the velvety texture--more silky. On opening, still fairly tannic and fruit forward, without the astringency others have noted. With air, the tannins smoothed out and, while fruit continued to dominate, tertiary earthen notes emerged. Went well with leftover porterhouse.
