  July 7, 2023 - Not much I can add to Joshvolters excellent below. An old world style with quality of at least Village level Burgundy yet can be bought now for £30. Lovely nose, balance and finish. Complex nose includes chocolate and a smoky finish in the glass. Great QPR

  April 8, 2023 - Great PN, also for the price tag and the region . Light red color, looks already a bit matured (in a good way). Very sexy nose, bit of oak and ripe strawberries and black cherries w/o bring over the top. More European style PN maybe. Moderate finish; from my point of view one of the better new world PN.

  November 15, 2022 - Restrained Cali with a chewy, dark edge. There’s a sweet delicate core of fruit that could only be West Coast- on the palate it’s shrouded by coffee, a touch of smoke, clove, pepper. Elegant and balanced, with some savoury funk. Really lovely.

  June 11, 2022 - Great value for money. Still young and benefits from a decant. Opens into primary red fruit with oak still not fully integrated (not in a bad way though). Enjoy now or in years
