  January 18, 2024 - The price of this seems to have gone up, and the quality not so much - I enjoyed previous vintages more. This is still a nice Petite Sirah and I typically like the power and the fact that this can show well on the 2nd day.

  January 26, 2023 - Noticeably improved from 6 months ago and/or a better bottle. Similarly dense extract but less impact from tannins. 2025+ still a good target.

  November 11, 2022 - Smooth mouth feel, with figs, mint, mixed with mild oak. Definitely some minerality that offers a second thought about what you're tasting

  July 24, 2022 - Nice wine, lots of extract, the tannins are a bit green. Tightly wound midpalate would benefit from a couple years of bottle age. Peak drinking probably 2025-2028.

  May 4, 2022 - Tasted blind. This wine is very GSM-like and very good. Powerful black pepper, violet, sweet berry fruit, and gamey aromas. I feel like this is a southern Rhone wine. Not as thick, savory, and brown as typical Chateauneuf du Pape, but more complex and serious than typical Cotes du Rhone. While it tastes rather young, and tannins are a bit gritty, I think it’s ready to drink now. Rating: 93
