February 3, 2024 - surprisingly good. I'd imagine in a blind tasting will beat many 2 nd labels and more pricier wines. still has some time to improve, medium tanins, the fruit is still strong, acidity not overwhelming. great food wine

November 5, 2023 - No formal note, a nice low end bordeaux that blossoms with some air time. This leans into the fruit side of the merlot pretty heavily but has enough structure to hold up.

November 1, 2023 - Color, intense clear red. 1st nose, red cherries; 2nd nose, alcohol and raspberries. On the palate, crisp tannins, big body with long finish. Ready to drink now to another 5 years.
