February 21, 2020 - Massive and wonderful. Deep delicious dark red fruit flavors. No faults or off-notes here. This wine has finally arrived! Long lingering aftertaste. Dark, dark purple in the glass and decanter. Dank over three days with no degradation.

April 18, 2019 - 100% Petit Verdot. 15.1% ABV. I let it breathe for an hour before drinking. Then drank over next 2.5 hours. Rich and juicy, with chewy, puckering tannins. Licorice and chocolate notes. Going strong on day 2, where nose develops blueberry jam notes. Petit Verdot is not likely to be part of your regular lineup. But this will be enjoyable. You're not likely to find another 100% Petit Verdot like this. Stagecoach Vineyard is high up on Atlas Peak.
