  January 8, 2024 - The wine had developed a bit of Volatile acidity, but the wine was still drinkable. A unique flavor and color of wine. 85

  June 5, 2023 - Similar to the first bottle, but noticed the high alcohol more with this one. Strange wine.

  May 15, 2023 - 14.8% abv. From a recent auction "mystery pack" of well-stored Herb Farm collection wines.
  Very "heavy" red, with strong American oak influence and very, very creamy mouthfeel. Lots of ripe fruit as well and aggressive acidity to go with it. This wine wants to make its presence felt!
  In any case, I found it all a bit too much of everything and the very creamy mouthfeel just seemed weird. I finished the whole bottle over two days, so it wasn't terrible, but I'm not really looking forward to the 2nd (of 2) bottle.

  September 10, 2009 - Lots of red berries, very fruity new world style. Like a barrel sample with almost no tannins. Simple, clean and fresh, however I would drink this over the next couple of years.
