  July 24, 2020 - Beautifully perfumed Napa Merlot, with a whiff of alcohol. Good cherry and oak flavors, with nice balance and a bit of heat. Accessible, but needs some food to tame the heat. Should drink well for at least 5+ years.

  July 15, 2017 - Followed several days over a nitro container. Needs at least 45 mins of air to open up, tasted backwards with heavy minerality as a pop and pour. Give this another 2 years before it begins hitting its stride with minimal air.

  April 2, 2017 - Decanted and consumed over 90 mins. Blueberry and dark black fruit on the nose. Fine grained tannins, light vanilla and oak, and a full breadth of dark fruit. Really a nice wine that's easy to drink at a reasonable price.

  October 26, 2016 - Tough to gauge as we were drinking out of odd-sized glasses at the Nankey's condo; improved over 90 mins and as the wine cooled to a reasonable temp from room temp
