  February 25, 2024 - No redeeming quality, just awful—VA off the charts, brett, this was a properly bad experience. Possibly one of the worst bottles of wine I've tasted in recent years.
  
  Ordered off the list at an up-and-coming resto in Oakland, CA.

  March 8, 2020 - This has been open about 20 hours. On day one this was pretty funky but also had high sour acid that made it downright unpleasant and also some heat. The acid has balanced some now but it’s even hotter so I put it in the fridge for 10 Minutes. It’s spicy and funky and a bit horsey. There is some old red fruit and forest floor and tomato. Palate is similar: cherry and plummy fruit. Spicy. Sour and tomato. Leaves and funk and some horse. A bit too much acid and alcohol to be in balance and a bit high toned. Finish starts off nice and spicy with some complexity and sweetness but gets really sour. Nose - 4.5/6, Palate - 4.5/6, Finish - 4/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 14/20.

  September 30, 2017 - Bright garnet in color with a ruby edge. Austere nose of cherries and tobacco with a hint of barnyard. Tastes of Bing cherries, cranberries, leather, pronounced barnyard and hint of tobacco and earth. Lovely purity of fruit, pronounced acidity, and nice structure. Complicated to score because the barnyard was so dominant at first. Nice wine drinking well and if one can get past the barnyard you should really enjoy.
