  Minerally nose, slightly truffled, big black fruit. It manages to shroud the ABV at least on the nose. Oak still integrating. Impressive, but not nearly approaching perfection in my book.

  California Wine Weekend; 12/1/2023-12/3/2023 (Mos Eisley Cantina & Waterhouse Restaurant): Black pepper, coffee grounds, lavender, cassis, plum jam and meaty charcuterie. Not overtly hot, but getting into the range of overdone.

  Intoxicating nose. Explosively floral with black pepper and meaty Syrah notes. Incredibly plush, just amazing texture, fresh, balanced, sweet and savory. Juicy and intense. Truly excellent wine.

  SLDS Decadence 2021: Oak, coffee, blackberry, blackcurrant - dense and deep on the nose. The dense profile continues on the palate, but does manage to find its feet with the acid and oak structure bringing it all into line. Unapologetic about its immense ripeness and full body.
