April 20, 2022 - Absolutely Devine. Pop’d n poured.
Fruit and structure in prime harmony, 30+ sec. Run time on palette.
Not sure there is any further development for this vintage. Cheers! -

May 6, 2021 - Not a very interesting wine. Tannins weak and no real mid-palate or lift in the finish.

November 22, 2020 - This was outstanding and in a really good place right now. I would drink up, don't see it getting any better. Really nice balance, fruit still very present but tannins well integrated. Long finish and just very interesting with the Cab Franc as people mentioned.
