February 12, 2024 - Dark fruits, crushed granite and light spice came through. Opened beautifully in the glass over about three hours. Deep red in color. Finish lasted 30 plus seconds and tannins had really mellowed.

October 29, 2023 - Nice food wine, leaner style that is pretty symbolic with the immediate vicinity that it comes from in the Napa Valley growing area. Berries, licorice and a gravelly note that shows up in the back palette. A very good wine, but not a great one and when you price up high you get graded high.

February 4, 2023 - Brilliant wine. Took a good 3.5 hrs to open. Pretty purple color. Incredible notes of dark berries, dark cherries, spearmint, wet earth, mint chocolate, toasted oak and melted licorice. Silky smooth palate that adds amazing characteristics while remaining so light on its feet. Good acidity, ripe tannins on long finish. Melka did a fine job.

November 11, 2022 - 6 hour slow ox. While tannins more settled than prior bottle couple years ago, didn’t have much a wow factor. Wondering if asleep right now. Revisit next bottle in at least 5 more years.
