  Consistent with previous notes. This is a rustic, earthy, gem and opens up nicely in the glass after about 20-min. Paired lovely with roasted sausages, onions, and potatoes at the beach (Seaview, WA). Drink 2024-2026. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

  This was a wonderful treat. Opened and let air an hour ahead of roasted chicken and root veggies. Cloudy, purple-violet color. The nose brings thick, purple lavender, bright berries, wood smoke, and forest floor. The palate is medium, round, weighty, and tangy, bringing bright red raspberries, pomegranate, bitter cherries, huckleberries, black tea, and baked rhubarb. There is a lovely jolt of juicy red fruit that lands squarely in the mid-palate, giving the wine energy and verve, while the finish is refined, supple, and smooth. Outstanding QPR and nicely balanced. Drink 2022-2026. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 93.

  This is a wonderful wine. Beautiful fruit in the mid pallet combine with an earthy smokey finish. The QPR is very high!
