December 28, 2017 - Ripe, red and purple fruit with great minerality and complexity. Smooth, silky tannins, nice acidity and long smooth finish. Tasting great

January 21, 2016 - Smokey, leathery grape kool-aid. Less purple flavored on day 2 but, silky smooth and ready roll both days.

August 20, 2015 - A bit dark but tasty. Heavier than the typical Biale, but signature spice, pepper, dark cherry. Still great with more years to drink
