March 12, 2024 - Still nicely fresh and very tasty. Very Napa with its rich and opulent fruit, slightly too much new oak, and sweet spice. Fun and tasty, maybe slightly lacking in the middle.

May 9, 2020 - Mostly mature black cherry and plum with earth, sweet spice and eucalyptus. Clearly ripe, but also holding its own very well. Good weight, balance and persistence. Purchased at release directly from Merryvale.
