  September 6, 2016 - This has turned into a very nice wine. Didn't like very much a few years ago. Decanted over an hour. Deep purple. Bold and fresh blue and purple fruit. Full bodied. Good finish. A bit of mid tongue green acidity. Much better than before.

  March 4, 2015 - Drank in Telluride. A bit of a disappointment. Initially smooth but morphs into a granny apple mid tongue evaporating acid taste that lingers.

  July 20, 2014 - Delicious red berry, lavender, and black pepper spice on the nose and palate with soft tannins on the long finish. Delicious whole cluster GSM. Drinking beautifully!

  December 1, 2012 - Ann pulled this from the cellar and poured it for me blind. Popped and poured and the rest went into a decanter. Tight at first, showing red fruits and black pepper. Medium bodied with good acidity. I initially thought this was a chateauneuf du pape. As it opened the fruit became more intense, almost sweet. Cherries, red raspberries. Lots of spice and black pepper I'm guessing from the stem inclusion. Some beef/meaty notes. Juicy. As Pax points out, it's not big and lush, which is one of the things I like about it. In the end I guessed a Cali GSM blend, and Wind Gap Orra. Close but no cigar.
