October 17, 2021 - Nose is briary, pencil lead, fall leaves. Mouth feel is silky, tons of blueberry, plum skin. My last, what a great wine.

June 19, 2021 - Berries, eucalyptus, herbal nose. Medium body, pretty integrated tannins but a little hot (could be the sausage pasta exacerbating it). Berries, vanilla, non-distinct herbal and feels like it could go on a bit.

October 20, 2018 - If you are looking for a big mountain cab, vanilla, oak and fruit. This might be your wine. Drank the same over several days.
