March 11, 2020 - A hedonistic, rich and juicy, tasty California blend to enjoy on a cold winterish evening. A bit wild around the edges, spicy, almost prickly initially, but developed nicely over the evening. I enjoyed it, my wife enjoyed it even more. Can still keep a few years, but perfect to drink now.

November 10, 2018 - Tasting at Bruce & Marsha C's House: Nose: Floral and perfumed with blue and black fruited. Palate: Dark fruited with very little tannin and a long finish.

February 23, 2018 - Started off without body but after it opened up or has a great complexity of flavor. Hint of Pinot nose without Pinot flavor. A little floral with good tannins.

November 15, 2017 - One hour decant ... Definitely one of the best Desparada's I've sampled to date, this is beautifully balanced, with rich up front cherry fruit and some spice, before blossoming into a dry mid with plenty of tannic backbone. Manages to be crowd-pleasing, but still light on its feet; never felt heavy or dense. Just lovely stuff. Definitely need more!
