September 18, 2023 - Drank this over a week. Awesome dark color. Deep dark fruit taste and long finish. Age worthy with the % of Petite Syrah in the blend. Drink or hold. Delicious.

July 4, 2023 - Just entering its drinking window for my tastes. Big/bold fruit with a savory finish that is starting to integrate nicely. Well made and delicious when you're in the mood. Will hold my last bottle for a few years as I do think that there's upside.

June 14, 2023 - As the name would suggest, a bit relentless. Wonderful wine, perhaps simply too much or could use more time.
