    September 9, 2021 - P&P. Started out a bit chunky but settled down fairly quickly. Nose is smoked meat, blackberry fruit, and oak, following to the palate with a touch of cranberry as well. Structure is very balanced, with all components playing well together. Very well made juice! Drink now - 2030.

    December 19, 2020 - Deep purple, intense concentrated nose, coconut and toasty oak, cassis, exotic spices, pepper, the alcohol is present on the nose, a bit nail polish, on the palate a lot more structured, cool climate syrah but with a sweet vanilla and fruit forward note balanced by good tannins and acidity. Nice, maybe a bit too early to drink now

    November 3, 2018 - APPEARANCE: Dark red
    AROMA: Herbs, flowers, and hints of raspberry and pepper
    TASTE: Big tannins and powerful dark red fruit. Definitely needs some time to soften the tannins
