Purchased this directly from Kestrel while on a stayca in Leavenworth, WA in 2021. A fantastic nose - jammy, bold LOVE it - first sip - divine- but what happened to the middle?? Great finish. I let the wine sit still in my glass while I made dinner and when I came back the middle returned! Glorious.

Wow and confused. I am so used to CA wines. This is so different. Initial, the nose was jammy. Loved it. As it opened, I am so confused. Palate was mineral, lively but ??? Wish I had more in the cellar. Want to try again. In the end, very pleased.

An easy drinking wine. Fine for a mid week meal. I did like the nose, entry and mid palate but the finish was truncated.
