  February 18, 2023 - Dark berries surround gritty tannins that make this a very desirable wine. Would have guessed 100% cab here but this is cut with some Merlot.

  November 18, 2022 - Opaque purple in the glass. Somewhat muted/austere nose of black fruit, a little something floral and a lot of alcohol. Palate was full bodied, spicy, black fruited and hot. Again the alcohol at 15+% was not helping things in this case. Finish was somewhat hollow but balanced.
  
  Overall this was not a good showing for what I was hoping would be a nice pairing with some beautiful ribeye steaks. Drinkable, and we finished the bottle, but overall disappointing.

  September 4, 2022 - Method: decanted for about 30 minutes; Cab glass; 68 degress
  
  Look: deep ruby
  
  Nose: red fruit, faint tobacco leaf, faint cedar, faint mint; not very expressive
  
  Palate: ripe, somewhat medicinal, cherry; medium+ finish of tobacco, cherry cough syrup, cedar; dry; medium body; medium+ drying tannins; medium acidity
  
  Overall thoughts: Simple and presenting an, off-putting to me, medicinal taste. Tannins are lower quality, especially relative to Napa Cabs. Mediocre wine.
  
  After 2 hours of air, it lost the medicinal note and gained some black pepper. 83 - 84 points.

  I don’t like this. It’s very fruity and the structure feels off.
