March 24, 2024 - Decanted for two hours. An outstanding red blend. Very well-made, many layers, nice balance. Recommended. Drink or hold; may improve.

March 10, 2024 - Similar to prior tasting notes. This is a really well-made wine especially after a 90 minute decant. For those who enjoy a New World wine made in a Bordeaux style.

February 9, 2024 - Full deep red, near opaque, no sediment thrown - 3
Good fruit, black fruits & berries, full depth of aromas with light wood - 10
Medium body, fruit flavors favoring berries and juice - a little thin and drops out a bit on the finish - 12
Good but a little light on the follow up. - 31 person found this helpful Comment -

January 22, 2024 - Similar to prior tasting notes but with a sweeter finish. Definitely new world Bordeaux blend. Drinking well now after a 1 hour decant.
