  June 12, 2020 - Dark red fruit with garrigue and mild spice notes come together nicely here. Great nose, texture and depth. At age nine, this wine is in a great place. Good juice.

  October 26, 2017 - I've now had 3 bottles. Previous comments hold. Frankly, this is simply overly-extracted - jammy, to be blunt. It's well made and certainly some/many will like this approach, but it's a Patz and Hall outlier. Not for me, finally.

  August 18, 2017 - Drank same night as the Gap's Crown. This is just a little over the top for me. Not quite as big and juicy as a cab, but lashings of oak and a strawberry/raspberry palate bury the aromas that I'm looking for. Leaves behind a little impression of sweetness. I'd favor something a little less ripe and a little tenser.
