February 11, 2024 - Lovely, understated. Nice edges of pepper, but not overpowering. Core is blackberry and slight hint of Tabasco

October 19, 2023 - Vinturied into decant,
The color and nose on par, tart and disjointed mid to end, a disappointing bottle. Drained it after a few hours.
There was no residue in the bottle, telling me there wasn’t enough tannins to hold this wine together for the long haul.
But I’m certainly no expert.. -

Disappointed and down the drain. -

July 3, 2020 - Outstanding Claret that drinks like a Bordeaux blend. Complex with subtle smooth tannins.

April 18, 2019 - Nice wine, could pass for a medium quality Right Bank Bordeaux rather than something from Napa. Dark color. Nose of blackberry and cedar. Tastes of cassis and chocolate. Full body, smooth mouthfeel, some tannins but not pronounced. Could maybe benefit from a couple more years of aging.
