  January 7, 2023 - In 2018 I wrote that Forceberry's note was on point and I think that it is still accurate but at this point the wine has found more harmony and balance. Still quite youthful but not as all-over-the-place as it was 4 years ago. A great experience and just at the beginning of it's preferred drinking window.

  August 14, 2022 - Drank over three days at a temperature of 12 degrees. Pours a stunning shade of medium amber. A supremely complex, layered, and intoxicating nose of orange blossom, dried chopped apricots, warming Christmas spices, the faintest hint of honey, and a basket of foraged herbs and freshly picked edible wild flowers. An absolutely explosive palate that kicks you hard. In the face. It bursts alive, taking in the full spectrum; sweet, tart, bitter, and saline. Ripe stone fruits give way to orange sherbet. Flakes of sea salt rain down on charred kumquats.

  April 15, 2022 - In line with previous notes, but the milky/malolactic is taking over too much now. Might be time to drink up.

  January 11, 2021 - Lovely and complex, with apricot, lychee, candied ginger, and rose water notes that glide on and on.
