September 13, 2019 - A touch of life left. Still oak present. Ready to drink.
January 4, 2019 - Well balanced - some berry with a touch of olive on the backend. Still drinking well.
August 23, 2018 - Decanted and enjoyed this wine. Polished and nice Mourvedre, nuanced and great with a grilled steak.
October 4, 2017 - This has been my favorite inexpensive wine for years and I have had many aged bottles. However the vintages of this era have been overripe, raisiny and unbalanced. I can only blame R Parker. This wine could have been good if picked earlier. I am hoping for a future return to balance in later vintages.
March 11, 2017 - Still very enjoyable and great P/Q

December 16, 2015 - Beautiful garrett and purple hues, cassis and raspberry notes, peppery finish on warm red fruit, liked it.
