  May 17, 2024 - Another very good bottle. Nose of fresh blue fruits, blueberries, bacon fat, lavender and wet hemp. It was a last minute decision so it only got 3+ hours of air. It just kept getting better and better as it sat in the glass. This wine can age for many more years so I’ve tucked 6 deep in my cellar to see how it is in 5-7 years. Love this.

  March 9, 2024 - Very full body, opaque as they come, but oddly devoid of full flavors. All of the mouthfeel of ripe, extracted fruit. Muted violet and dried cherry palate, fast attenuating finish

  August 24, 2023 - Ken's Dueling Northern Rhones (Ken's Castle): Dark fruits and minerals on the nose. Chalky tannins on a spicy finish. This is hitting real nice. Finished 1 of 3, my 2 of 3.

  July 19, 2023 - Amazing QPR! Seriously complex nose, minerals, garrigue, earth, smoke and spice. Spicy on the palate, good tannin structure albeit a bit grainy. Medium bodied.
