  March 14, 2024 - Nose - lucious berries, lightly woodsy, light smokiness that extends to palate.
  Palate - full body, velvety smooth, all delicious dark berries, nice full structured tannins.
  Paired with spaghetti, meat balls and toasted ciabatta. Completely delicious!
  3-14-24 - Had the remainder of the bottle with pizza, with jalapeno slices (mild heat) and the boat salad, It was wonderful!

  October 11, 2021 - The cork broke during removal, and came out in pieces. Had to finally push remainder into bottle, and strained it into decanter, and poured two glasses to drink. It was drinkable but a far, far distance from the last time we had this lovely wine. We did barely complete our glasses of wine with dinner. It wasn’t exactly totally off but -
  the next time we have a bottle with its cork dried out, we’re definitely going to taste it carefully first.

  October 18, 2019 - Dark fruits to start and then mushrooms and earth on the nose. Well balanced tannins and good structure. Medium body with a medium finish.
  For a blend and a Cab forward, it is an elegant wine with excellent age and within its time window.
