May 5, 2017 - Popped and poured through Vinturi. Bright fruit on the nose with a good funk to it. Palate is still youthful with light acid and really pretty red and blue fruit with hints of leather. Finishes tannic showing a lot of potential to further age. This was out of a split so hang onto the 750s for another 5 years at least.

August 11, 2015 - This wine is getting better and better. More Californian than WA in style, with perceived sweetness on the body reminiscent of Schrader or Caymus. A really fun wine to drink with food or by itself.

November 27, 2014 - Decanted for four hours and could have even had more time. Still a nice full wine with loads of cocoa all the way through the finish.
