  December 15, 2019 - Took some time to open up in bottle, but still drinking very well. Likely at peak. Still some tannins left. Nose is killer right now with forest floor and graphite - my favorites. Would drink within next couple of years.

  November 29, 2019 - This wine is in a great place right now. PnP and needed ~ 1 hour to come together and open up. Excellent nose. Still plenty of structure left to last another 5 years or so... but why wait?

  April 9, 2017 - This has really come into its own. Excellent in all respects. It still has plenty of time left though.

  November 13, 2014 - There is a lot of just ripened pomegranate like flavors in this wine - almost no sweetness, acid driven fruit and even the bitterness of chewing pomegranate seeds comes through at the end and adds structure. On the bottle, they say old world style, but to me, it is clearly new world fruit driven wine. Translucent ruby color, smokiness and red berry on the nose, medium to light body, the wine just comes into maturity. I like the wine but it did not match the food I chose. My suggestion would be to think about this wine as a medium body pinot, as it would probably be good with Turkey and cranberry sauce.

  January 19, 2014 - Color: Ruby with a near opaque core
  Smell: Earth, dark fruit, tobacco, clove, and spice
  Taste: Vibrant and ripe blue and black fruits, anise, and cedar
  Overall: This wine was Very Good and I could see some people really liking this style. It's very well made and clearly from California, with some restraint and grace that can get lost at times in the power and clarity of the pure fruit notes.
