July 9, 2017 - Drinking really well right now with an expressive nose of spice and black fruit. Palate has well integrated but present tannins and a good complexity rare for this high of an alcohol level this early. Finishes well but will improve more in the coming years.

June 30, 2017 - Washington Wine Tasting; 6/29/2017-7/1/2017 (Woodinville, Seattle, Jet City): Tasted at Sparkman tasting room in Woodinville's Hollywood District.

Smooth!
Spicy and fruit. Long finish. Good to go now and should continue to improve.
