  January 3, 2022 - 90 +/-
  Drank over 2 nights. Not as good as prior vintages but a well made wine.

  June 23, 2019 - Tasted at wine dinner with winemaker. Not as good as the '11 but bought 3 bottles to let them get some age and complexity.
  
  Savory, black cherry, garrigue on nose - similar flavor profile on palate. Needs 2-3 years. Full body, medium tannins, medium acidity and medium+ finish.
  
  89-90 today with room for 1-2 points with age.

  May 4, 2019 - Floral dark fruit on the nose
  Structured and firm but ripe tannins, full fruit, touch of chocolate.
  Really overdelivers for the money.
  Great vintage.

  February 19, 2019 - If you've had the 2015 version buy the 16 by the case... It's that good.
