  December 21, 2023 - Tasting notes are consistent with earlier reviews - lots of black fruits. The cork was brittle and I had to push it in and strain the bottle. Still great wine - drink or hold.

  May 21, 2023 - Color/App: opaque/inky core -> dense ruby rim with the barest touch of garnet at the edge; medium + viscosity. Initially had a green/weedy note on the nose at PnP that was off-putting but decanted and waited 20-30 minutes and that blew off. Bouquet of road tar, earth, creosote and black, black fruits; black plums, blackberries, black cherries -- you name it; it's there. This tasted younger than expected; still some grippy tannins to resolve but showing promise. Palate exhibiting that plethora of black fruit, dirt, ash, a touch of pepper and some roasted meat. I find this to be fairly primary still and demonstrating an austere, northern Rhone framework. I'm inclined to give this a bit more time given the tannins and youthful appearance; I think patience will be rewarded. 92-94.

  January 6, 2023 - Deep ruby color with lifted black fruit, green olive, eucalyptus, smoked meat, violet, and black pepper aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with and round with mouth-watering acidity and well integrated dusty tannins. It shows ripe blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, black currant, graphite, mocha, and peppery spice flavors accented with a very appealing savory notes. Medium-Long finish. This wine is in a great place right now, but I feel like it could go another few years at least!
  
  Fruit sourced from the T and S blocks of the famed Hudson Ranch. Vinified with 40% whole-cluster and co-fermented with a smidge of Viognier, this is classic Hudson-savage, bacon-rind, peppery goodness.
