November 15, 2022 - decanted 30 minutes ... probably needed 30 more minutes before the first glass ... wine was still tight on first glass by second it had opened beutifully ... great wine
January 8, 2021 - The drinking window here is WAY off. This ready now and it is frankly really, really good. Syrah leads the way but it balances it's heft with some finesse
June 29, 2020 - We really like this Syrah-heavy GSM... big and full, a nice blend. Smooth and integrated now, probably as good as it will get.
9/12/20 Another bottle, another 93... a beauty.
May 24, 2020 - A nose of some funk and dark fruit, dark black purple in color. A full bodied and bold red blend, with black berries, black raspberries, spice and minerals, needs a good decant. www.winelx.com
April 5, 2020 - Beautiful fruit forward dense paso syrah with enough structure and acid to keep it fresh. Still young and primary. Wish I could see it in 5-10 years
March 15, 2020 - Effervescent on opening but disappeared quickly. Intense aromas of flowers and berries, more earthy fruit on the palate. I would have rated this higher but after awhile I detected a subtle band-aid note which suggests some brett and not in a good way. I think this wine had the potential to be good but a few flaws got in the way—an irony given its name.
February 10, 2020 - I thought this wine was good, but not great. Pretty mellow flavor. Smooth wine, but not much complexity.
August 31, 2019 - Effervescent
