February 29, 2024 - Very different from two years ago. More Bordeaux-like, structured. More of a fine but pedestrian high quality Cali wine. Too much pyrazine. Still, a nice drink. See ya again in 2025.

February 26, 2022 - I am embarrassed by how much I like this wine. Opened yesterday and sampled, tasted today. If you could or would convert fine cherry candy into wine, you would be here. Nose, to me somewhat reticent, but oaky and fruity. The palate, wow. Comes in with megafruit, then fires all the sweetness detectors into emergency alarm. But in a happy, syrupy way.
The fruit is, I think, cherry. Exits smoothly, dominated still by fruit rather than tannin or EtOH.
This is not what I learned on. But as a Bdx drinker, I have to say that if this is wrong, I don't ever want to be right again. -

July 18, 2020 - Decanted for approximately an hour. Not much better than two years ago. This wine still has some legs left in it. Jammy nose of dark berries, cherry, with undertones of brambly underbrush. Yummy to the core. I don't see this wine getting much better. Drink up and enjoy.

October 28, 2018 - Decanted for 4.5 hours. This seems to be in a great place right now. Well balanced with fruit, sweet polished tannins and medium plus acidity. A very well made wine. I will wait two years to open my next bottle but probably not necessary.
