At a walk around tasting. Combination of 2013 and 2014. I do not know what percentage of each, and I do not have a lot of experience drinking either vintage yet, so its hard to know which year "dominates" this blend. This is big and brooding, but quite enjoyable. Darker fruit. Chocolate covered cherry? Berries. A touch of cocoa powder? Herbal note. Nice structure.

Willamette Valley Weekend Visit; 5/26/2018-5/27/2018: Tasting at the winery. 13/14 blend. Black and meaty fruit with some olive tapenade. Long, brooding start, then brighter and uplifting finish. Very mountain fruit with the lifting acidity. 91-92+ point potential.

1/7/2018 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine:
Winorama: A winter in Wineland II; 1/6/2018-1/14/2018 (Portland, Eureka, Napa): Very much off the beaten track - after all how many ppl make Napa wine in a non-vintage format? This is darker, lots of tannins, good fruit, more power and intensity but also a hint of 'pretty' in it. Very enjoyable.
