    June 30, 2023 - Nice, resolved but delicious. Tannin and acidity have faded, fruit is a touch sweeter than something like Puffeney but it is cali. Tastes of trousseau though and it’s a very nice wine. Not sure it’s a whole lot “better” than it was when young, but both stages are certainly delicious. Nice wine!!

    January 26, 2022 - PnP, followed over a few days. Savory, but with a purity of fruit that cuts through, riding on the well balanced acidity. Lightly perfumed on the nose. Clean, with more body on the palate than I would have expected based on the light color. Great clarity.

    January 26, 2022 - Consistent with prior notes. Sad this was my last bottle.

    You know that feeling when you cellar a bottle for a few years and you open it up at some point and take one sip and it makes you feel like a genius?

    November 24, 2020 - Consumed over the course of three days and not much change over that time but this is simply a wonderful wine and for the cost, positively stunning.

    Pours a really pretty, clear, pale rouge, with a tinge of peach along the edges; light enough that you expect something along the lines of a darker Rose or maybe and Orange wine but the fruit is much darker, deeper and richer than those styles of wine; stems and strawberry on the nose, with a subtle spice undertone and maybe some orange zest; crisp and refreshing spiced strawberry and crunch, tart cranberry fruit on the front-end of the palate and then a nice savoriness of white pepper and bright tomato in the middle and on the back end; the savory characteristics show more as the wine warms to room temperature; a lot of bright acid still holds this together.

    This wine drinks well in its young age with bright, crunchy, fresh fruit being the center, but after 6 years of sitting sideways, the savory character has pushed through the fruit and really makes this wine interesting. It's a joy to drink both young and with a little age. Curious how it will evolve over the next several years...
