June 29, 2022 - 2nd of 2 bottles, last consumed 4 yrs ago. Shows notes of raspberry, tart red cherry, and rhubarb flavors, alongside faint anise and cedar chips, with finely grained tannins and gorgeously refreshing acidity. Drink through 2024 or so.

March 15, 2019 - Reminiscent of the style of Domaine de la Cote. Still fresh. Strawberries, smoke, tart cherries. Tannins are a soft suede. Acid is bright and refreshing.

July 7, 2018 - Enjoyed while fishing at Lake Barkley with my dear friend TKM.
This wine was consumed from plastic cups and just enjoyed. Bright red cherry and strawberry fruit, with a little tire rubber and cooking spices, leading into nicely balanced acidity with good verve, and a tart and lip-smacking finish. Quite good. -

September 22, 2017 - Fruit punch, spices, long finish. Opened up a bit. Light for CA, lacks the layers of oak common in CA, and enjoyable.
