I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 97 points
August 30, 2022 - An Amazing Arizona Tasting: About a 60 min decant. What a stunning wine! Youthful? Of course. But the nose was intoxicating! Violets galore with a mixture of dark fruit, red cherries, milk chocolate and Christmas spice, followed by hints of bramble, cedar, anise and earth. The palate was delicious, but still quite primary. Dark and red fruit and chocolate covered cherries, with violets, bramble, coffee and sweet tobacco, and some spice notes lurking in the background peeking out periodically. Wine is silky smooth and shows no heat at. all. In a great window now, IMO and for my palate, but I do think it will get even better with more time! Certainly has the fruit and backbone to age further and gain some additional tertiary goodness! 96+ to 97 today, and upside potential!
