a meaningful step up in the overall line up. This has concentration and lengths but in an elegant, almost Burgundian fashion. Lovely nose. Still a little oak, give it time.

Rose & Arrow Dinner (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Certainly the most concentration of tonight's wines. Complex array of red and black fruit with bright textures, some firm tannins in the middle, ending with a long finish. Similar to when tasted in November, but tonight's bottle was opened 8 hours before tasting, helping make it so much more accessible. A wine I would be thrilled to re-visit in another few years, 94-95 point potential.

Thanksgiving Weekend in Willamette; 11/25/2021-11/27/2021 (Willamette Valley OR): Tasting at the winery tasting room. Probably the most concentration of all the wines tasted here today, but not quite as accessible as most. Complex array of red and black fruit with bright textures, some firm tannins in the middle, ending with a long finish that is still a bit backward. A wine I would be thrilled to re-visit in another few years, 93-94+ point potential.

Weelend with Friends and Wine; 9/3/2023-9/4/2023 (Asian Spice House - Buchanan MI): Wow, lots here, with everything in balance. Red and black fruit with brightness and vibrancy, all the structure is in the near background out of the limelight in perfectly harmonious supporting roles. Great depth and balance.
