  Decanted for a wonderful experience. Deep red color, soft cherry nose. Robust yet smooth, mellow tannins for just the right, full mouth feel. Dark cherry and minerality palette. Yes, I wish I had more!

  No formal note, this is very rhone like.
  Served blind, i would be hard pressed to pick it different.
  
  Stelvin capsule, excellent fill level
  Fine sediment, sieving recommended
  
  Deep ruby, beautiful balance between elegance and ripeness.
  
  Drink or hold, there is no rush here.
  Enjoy to 2030 easily.

  This wine is shining right now. I wish I had 6 more. It's balanced and complex, with the typical strawberry-forward flavors now complemented with darker fruits, a hint of smoke, and shake or two of pepper.

  No formal note. The first american wine to impress ms. Browne.
  Surprised at how rhone-like this wine was, though garrigue was replaced by a faint eucalyptus note to my palate. But comparisons are pointlessly if only to dispel the notion of overripe fruitiness. It’s a very enjoyable, balanced rhone blend wine. The raspberry and savoury characters finished with decent length and overall i was left with the impression of a wine entering its maturity plateau.
  
  Drink now or hold until 2025
