May 5, 2024 - One of my favorite Merlot dominant blends. Last bottle from this vintage. Rich and smooth with well integrated tannins and a nice finish.

April 20, 2024 - Nose: Plum liqueur, prickly. Palate: stewed plums, blackberry, quite a bit of wood, sour cherry; bitter plum skins; rounded tannins, and could benefit from a bit more acidity.

January 13, 2024 - Open four hours, served cool
Youthful, cherry more than almond, medium+ acidity, solid, not particularly good value by comparison with earlier vintages. Starting to lift the volume, and it shows -

March 28, 2023 - Lush, juicy, and everything I'm looking for in a WA Bordeaux blend. Muted bouquet that benefits from a bit of air, but in the glass the flavors balance nicely: plums, cassis, and some black cherry along with a subtle cedary spice note. Surprised to find this is mostly merlot (59%) as it carries a lot of cabernet on the palate. Glad I have more of this; hope it stays at this plateau for a while.
