    January 8, 2023 - Coming out of a low phase and starting to show where it is headed. I like this depth and believe it will continue to evolve.

    May 5, 2020 - A little indistinct at this point. I would not have guessed this to be 100% PV. Not as enjoyable as when tasting at the winery years ago.

    February 29, 2020 - Yes, "slightly corked" describes this wine perfectly. Kept trying, but it did not improve.

    July 28, 2019 - PnP. Very intriguing and savory at first -- rustic notes that I sometimes associate with a Bdx Cab Franc. This quickly become a bit pruney, Still a pretty dark and bright color. There is some nice depth here, some white pepper and brown spices dancing around, but I can't thinking that blind I would find this too reductive. Perhaps this will improve. I suspect it will last a bit, but not sure if it will get better over time or not.

    April 14, 2017 - P&P. Drinking really well right now! Big black cherry fruit, notes of barrel and tobacco, along with hints of vanilla and mocha. This paired perfectly with our "Juicy Lucy Burgers" from Hello Fresh. Drink now - 2020+.

    (Rasa Vineyards Living in the Limelight Petit Verdot Columbia Valley) Dark in color. A lightly aromatic wine with floral notes, bittersweet chocolate, and cherry.

Aged in French oak (20% new). 15.0% alcohol. 80 cases produced. Sampled at 61 degrees.
