October 7, 2023 - Still together can last a while, even at 13.9 it has big fruit.
Not my cup of tea , well made for the style.
If you got it drink it, people will like it
July 3, 2022 - Dark red maroonish color. Nose of blackberry, earth, and sweetness. Medium to full-bodied. Interesting palate, blackberry somewhat over ripe fruit, integrated tannins. Good finish. Not a huge fan of this bottle.
February 16, 2022 - Last of 5 bottles purchased in 2019.
Dark red color. On nose, cassis, sweet dark cherry, mint and a touch of tobacco. Palate was similar. Medium body, medium acidity, integrated tannins that are completely integrated - long finish. Well-made bottle of wine. 92+

Nice wine, shows more Sonoma fruit, more earth and herb but finishes a little sweet.
January 2, 2021 - Dark purple, long legs, dark fruits, light oak on nose. Plums, black cherry, licorice, leather, oak, vanilla, light smoke. Medium tannins. Medium to full body with silky mouthfeel. Pop n pour with aerator - could have used a decant.
December 21, 2020 - 92+/- - consistent with my prior notes. Really enjoyed -with or without food.
November 26, 2020 - More air time helps. Lots of acidity and cedar to go with the black cherry, cassis, and licorice. Better with food than by itself. Should improve in a couple more years. Easily 5-7 years of life yet when it softens a little more.
October 4, 2020 - consistent with my prior notes - very enjoyable and nice complexity. 91-92 range.
September 24, 2020 - Dark red color with minimal sediment. Rich, chalky dark cherry flavors with juicy cherry on the finish. Smooth and good with or without food.
February 29, 2020 - PNP. Dark red color with no apparent sediment. On nose, red fruit, cassis and sweet tobacco. On palate, medium body / acids/ tannins and a long silky finish. Flavor profile on nose was similar to palate - I really enjoyed this. 92+/-
