September 1, 2022 - Blueberry and black cherry, vanilla, subtle minerality and earth on the nose. Tasting reveals more of the red fruit and dark fruit and oak, some savory notes. Tannins are pure silk with lovely acidity

March 3, 2021 - Pretty dark ruby red and clear. Smoky asphalt and slight fruits on nose. Taste delivers good black/blue dry fruits, olive tapenade, and espresso. A bit awkward and unbalanced, bitter chocolate with a touch of pepper spices and alcohol burn on the finish. Not sure I know where this was supposed to go but it likely needs steak or rich dishes to elevate it. Could last a few more years easily with tannic structure, and perhaps integrates to let a better fruit profile emerge (2026??), but would not expect much improvement from here.

December 27, 2019 - Showing really well right now. Black and blue fruits to start, a bit of sandalwood and eucalyptus if you hunt for it. This is a solid value.
