October 16, 2022 - very light like a Pinot Noir. Had that great grenache nose I like and plenty of fruit. Very balanced. No hint of the 15.2% abv A very elegant grenache

June 22, 2021 - Probably held onto this one a little too long. Still good but the fruit is definitely more muted then prior bottles. Drink up

May 28, 2019 - Bright cherry ruby in color and very fresh tasting. Surprisingly spicy palette (almost like a Zin), which some in our group really liked although the spiciness was a bit much for me. Youthful and vibrant - it improved with air and still may improve in bottle.

January 3, 2019 - Really came alive after 90 minutes in glass. Beautiful red-dark cherry color and flavor with spice, strawberry licorice and nice acid. Not much bouquet. Can’t predict what’s in store in 3 more years but looking forward.

February 13, 2018 - Nose of Howell Mountain briar, raspberry, red cherry, boysenberry, black pepper and a touch of CDP barnyard, same on the palate, big body, mouth filling fruit, juicy at 7 years of age, ready to enjoy as its at its best right now, almost elegant, rich fruit, and a long flavorful finish and great aftertaste. Enjoyed over two nights, slightly better the first night which again suggests its time to drink. Note the cork in the picture shows no saturation at the seven year mark due to the 56 degree cellar storage.
