November 3, 2023 - Second bottle, upon opening, silken mouth feel, abundant fruit, wonderful. On a different night, the first bottle took a bit longer, more air, to feel the richness.
70% Merlot. -

April 19, 2020 - COVID-19 "Shelter-in-Place"; 3/17/2020-5/31/2020 (Redwood City, CA): Medium ruby color. Shy aromas of cherry, fig, crushed gravel, leather and baking spice. Silky texture, medium-full body, with fresh and zesty red fruit and a peppery finish. Tannins remain a bit assertive and grippy in the finish. This is a robust, dense wine that, while probably never becoming something truly remarkable, should provide great enjoyment for the next decade or so.

April 29, 2017 - Smoky dark, red plums, with a real juicy character to the fruit. This is coupled with freshness and earthy, black cherries in the medium bodied finish.
