  April 16, 2021 - This is a producer that we've liked for a long time, but rare to see the older vintages available. Still drinking quite young which surprised me. It's a bit primary in nature. A producer that always has good balance, but the fruit is bright and present and probably the dominant at this point still.

  July 8, 2019 - Lovely, mature wine. A nose of violets and red fruits. The palate is a beautifully blended mix of blueberry, roasted meat, anise, warm spice. Some pepper comes in on the mid-palate. The tannins are smooth and the acidity bright. Lovely balance. The finish has dark fruits and black pepper. Great now and for the next 3 to 4 years.

  March 21, 2017 - This is at peak at least this bottle. At 17 years from vintage, I don't think it gets better but then again, no real hurry. Purple/ruby in color. The nose has black raspberries, dark cherries, raspberries, slight earthiness. On the palate, this has a tart acidity to it which comes out as a tart cherry note. There is also a nice black raspberry floor. finally a slight charred earth component is also around. All in all, it presents a reasonably complex package with good acidity. The tannins seem integrated. Nice finish. It certainly drinks more as a cooler climate Syrah which I would think is consistent with Napa in 2000.
