April 9, 2023 - Rich and full bodied with great balance and mouthfeel.
March 29, 2021 - This wine managed to get better. A bottle decant showed off what this wine has to offer. Still lots of backbone left in this wine. Great balance on the palate and a really nice and layered finish.
February 23, 2021 - Started out okay, but faded fairly quickly. Believe it is drink up time
October 3, 2020 - This is superb and right in its drinking window. I didn't get a chance to keep detailed notes, but everyone loved it.
July 22, 2019 - Very good
September 23, 2018 - A little hot from alcohol when first uncorked, but opened up beautifully after about 90 minutes in the decanter. Smooth, restrained berry fruit, integrated light structure, medium finish. Went well with osso buco.
February 18, 2018 - Tampa Spring Break III; 2/16/2018-2/18/2018 (Tampa FL): 5/17 wines tasted double blind. This one had a lot of sweet red fruits on the nose. Color was a bright ruby red - so clearly quite young. On the palate gobs of sweet red fruit and soft tannins. Seems like a warm vintage - thought maybe '07 Napa Cab Sauv.
February 18, 2018 - Tampa Spring Break (the third); 2/16/2018-2/18/2018 (Various Tampa locations (Seasons 52, Capital Grille, Berns etc.)): Wine #5: This is the one that I don't have the score for for some reason. It's clearly syrah with some washington funk but a bit restrained as well. Lots of drying tannin. With more time in the glass felt a bit more intense.
February 9, 2018 - With tomato stuff tonight, high tannin. Last night, with mushroom turkey bean loaf... so,so
December 23, 2015 - Fantastic wine. Wonderful nose, terrific fruit and layered complexity on the palate. This will benefit from a few more years in the cellar.
