    November 28, 2023 - Deep purple color. Effusively aromatic with berry bowl and tomato leaf. Dark berry melange of flavors with blueberry skin and juicy blackberry. This is cab lover's merlot. 93.

    April 15, 2023 - smooth creamy, muted purple color, not overly tanniny, slight spice overtones, perfect for lamb or non zesty pasta

    February 28, 2023 - Opened in the bottle a few hours. Not sure I get this wine. Textually nice and dense but an almost burnt/over ripe quality to the fruit. Maybe give it time.

    March 4, 2022 - Definitely needed some air/time to open up. Fruit really came through on second half of bottle. Decant for 30 minutes next time
