October 4, 2021 - This wine seems to never disappoint. A well structured red blend from Paso Robles. They certainly have a hit on their hands by hitting on the right combination of varietals. Robust, bold, fruit forward but not sweet and not too dry. Can be enjoyed solo or with a big meal.

February 4, 2021 - After pouring this into a decanter through an aerator, this opened up nicely. Not too dry, not too sweet, a bit of fruit, and a supple finish. Still drinking pretty well in 2021.
