May 2, 2020 - More generic at this point. Medium plus acidity and mixed, somewhat stewed red fruits with some blue/black notes from the M and S. Oak (vanilla) showed through after a little air. Clearly a decently made wine but limited potential here. Likely better young.

April 25, 2020 - Translucent ruby red color with pink rim. The fragrant nose in this grenache-dominant blend (75% Grenache/23% Mouvedre/2% Syrah) highlights the grape’s ample red cherry and raspberry notes upfront. On the palate, this wine captures the red-fruited beauty of the blend with ripe cherry and raspberry that blends into blackberry on the finish. This medium-bodied wine has ample acidity and a little tannic bite in the end. Overall, this is a wine of fun and sun with enjoyable red fruit and enough acidity to handle a cheesy chicken dish. It is not a terribly complex wine at this point, but it is delicious and very well made.

January 10, 2020 - Decanted for one hour. Nose of black raspberry, cherry, bramble, vanilla and licorice. Red and black fruit, licorice, bramble and fine tannins on the palate. Finishes with good length. Medium to full bodied. Served with pasta, cream sauce, sausage and mushrooms.
