June 26, 2020 - Dense nose of raspberry preserves, toast, and a hint of cayenne. Very fruity, though it has balanced extraction. Pretty pure blackberry and raspberry fruit. Mature now, but no rush.
September 30, 2019 - Exceptional
August 15, 2017 - Lovely - tobacco, huckleberry, blackberry... mouthfeel and taste reminiscent of Bordeaux with some age. This bottle was drinking great.
December 7, 2016 - Gorgeous, and very much alive!
January 28, 2013 -
Black plum, cassis, currants, spice and toast
October 6, 2012 - Took to Pickberry Tasting Event at Ravenswood. Less flash than at last tasting, entering into a very solid well grounded phase, coming along nicely, lengthen the window
December 1, 2011 - Great Wine
June 4, 2011 - good bottle of wine. Drinking very well now, still has enough tannin to hold up a few year and the fruit is pretty fresh. I'm happy I drank it.
November 28, 2010 - Cork disintegrated, but was able to filter out cork. Wine was really good in the first glass out of the bottle but then started to fade afterwards. Would drink this one up soon.
March 3, 2010 - Tannic but not much else.
