Plum, jam, blackberry, raspberry, black pepper. Fresh, fruit forward, rhone style wine, easily identifiable as a Paso Robles Rhone style wine. Great everyday wine.

Excellent wine with good QPR. Drank undecanted. Cherry, blackberry, casis, and oak. 1 of 3 bottles, will age the remaining as there seems additional potential.

Great wine, smoother and more subtle than Isosceles. Decanted 2h, good, but likely to improve with more aging.
