May 8, 2024 - Very deep ruby color. Limited fruit, but hints of cherry, blackberry, and a slight amount of vanilla.

February 5, 2024 - Absolutely sensational. little to no bricking, brute color and typical Howell Mountain fruit clearly great wine making skills. Well worth the wait.

October 29, 2023 - Very slight pleasantly vegetal nose, full mouth that is saturated with fleshy plums and cherries and graphite; good length that turns a tiny bit strident.
I can see this wine becoming less and therefore more subtle, but it doesn’t seem like that’s gonna make it better. -

May 7, 2023 - When just opened, this had a liquorice note together with quite ripe fruit. After a while, the wine became more serious, with ripe blackberry, dark cherry, cassis, cedar, fully integrated tannins and a medium + length finish.

April 28, 2023 - WB DC Offline - Mostly Napa (Bistrot Lepic): Deep garnet, cherries and cedar on the nose. On the palate high acidity, medium alcohol medium body, cherries and black raspberries. Kept getting better all night. A lighter touch than most of the other wines in the lineup which shows through.
