December 13, 2020 - A very clean wine — almost too clean, such that it seems a little stripped of character. Nonetheless, quite enjoyable to drink with pizza. Opens with notes of varnish, fresh plum, and apple skin. A bit of margarita mix on the finish.

November 30, 2016 - I was not optimistic about this wine when I opened it. I initially thought it was going to be way past its prime. Acidity was up there initially and subsided after an hour. Day 2 presented a very different wine! Velvety, dark fruits and a hedonistic pleasure...

April 21, 2015 - Had over 2 nights. Only note is to say that for a vineyard I generally dislike and from a producer that says to drink their wines young, I thought this was mighty fine. Lots of fresh dark fruits. Acidity is a bit out of whack but not too distracting.

March 7, 2015 - Had at potluck after the rock pile, which rendered this impotent, thin and weak. Lighter bodied, pale on the rim. Notes of pomegranate, cherry.

November 16, 2013 - If you still have some, drink now. Still very good and quite big with lots of fruit remaining.
