May 6, 2023 - Up from the ground come a bubbling crude, black gold, Texas tea…deep purple color, impenetrable, magenta rim. A little heat on the nose. Also a earthy aroma. Tears rolling down the glass. Deep purple plum flavor, ripe mulberries and it continues to unfold with air. Fine tannin on the back end. Not heavy on the palate at all. Full flavored without being overbearing. This is a wine to curl up in a leather chair and a great book and let both plots unwind.

February 12, 2023 - I love these wines when you're in the mood for something.....bigger. Deep, dark, and delicious. Not for the faint of heart but also very well balanced. The beauty of Mending Wall PS is that it's great young, but you know it will also age effortlessly. Pop in now, tomorrow, or in 15 years - you can't lose!

November 12, 2021 - Dark, dark, dark. Not a single ray of light shines through this wine. Stains the glass. Perfumed nose. Spicy on the palate. Blue and dark fruit. Tannic and would benefit from some time. Finish lingers. Good stuff.

December 2, 2020 - 14.7% abv. Dark as night, very aromatic. High octane, wildly intense, powerful and sexy. Ripe plum, black pepper, white flowers, a classic and exceptional Petite. Goes on and on ... should improve and then hold for years. Crazy stuff.
