September 20, 2022 - OMG, last time I tasted this was very UNimpressed.
Tonight, buckle up.
Completely different wine.
Earthy, balanced, great finish.
Color me shocked. -

September 9, 2016 - Tasted at the winery...light to medium translucent garnet. Chocolate, black fruit, cassis and some grilled vegetables on the nose. Fairly lean and tannic so I would think it needs a good bit of time yet in the cellar. Well balanced.
