October 20, 2020 - Super smooth delicious easy to imbibe wine that glides along on a single taste dimension. Yes! This is a terrific rendition of carignane. I doubt anyone else in the world can make a better carignane, but it's carignane which simply doesn't have the lift and complexity of other varietals. Bravo! I'm really happy to drink this because I knew beforehand the limitations of the varietal and am impressed by the craftsmanship of this wine.

March 1, 2020 - Consumed over three nights. Wonderful wine. Dark fruit. Acidic. Mineral. Was much improved on the third night. Many years left in this. Wish I had more.

October 9, 2019 - Dark fruited, bold and full bodied with nice acidity to keep it round. Starts out like a zinfandel field blend but, but instead of a sweet fruity finish, you get salted blackberries and wet stones. Savory.

April 27, 2019 - This is gorgeous now. Red fruit, clay, rusticity. Very clean finish with some walnut skin and talc. Perfect for the table. Take me to the river

Aromas of black cherries, crushed rock, wood, and tar. Very, very interesting. Had with a gras fed strip and it went really well. Full bodied, the wine starts of fruity and moves to a nice bright acidity and crunchy finish. Very youthful. I would like to see this again in another 4-8 years. Awesome stuff, a little new world, but still not as giving as a lot of Napa producers today. There was some real mineral to this wine...1 person found this helpful Comment
