September 21, 2021 - This is a great PnP. Great plum and red fruit. I would make this a house cab without hesitation.

March 18, 2019 - Vanilla, cassis, menthol, cherry on the nose. Black cherry, ripe bell pepper, vanilla, cedar on the palate. Very smooth and structured with balanced tannins. Will hold a bit but with limited upside.
