February 1, 2020 - Still drinking well but definitely over it’s peak. Lacked a little depth but was still thoroughly enjoyable.

August 7, 2014 - Really enjoyed this. Still young. New world for sure but full of freshness and character. Sweet fruit and a background of wood which isn't fully integrated but that isn't a bad thing

December 22, 2012 - Dense, jammy, earthy wine with silky tannin and a slightly burnt finish. After an hour the burnt finish seems to dominate.
