    November 10, 2023 - Not sure how I feel about this one.

    April 11, 2023 - Solid wine and, given its modest price, nearing bargain territory. Sweet red cherry lozenge flavors up front, lively acidity and quite a remarkable depth of flavor carried into a lengthy 30+ second finish. A good mid-week drink with overripe raspberry, spice and notes of both old and new wood.

    September 23, 2022 - Deep garnet, some brown ring, medium legs, some translucent. Vanilla, oak, red fruit, some dried cherry, some plum, caramel, some spices, some dried herbs, a little bit smoky. On the palate, cherry, raspberry, some plum, dark fruit, licorice, spices, some wet floor, medium high acidity, grip tannic, medium body, long finish, a little lack of fruit concentration. Still very young and complex for 10 year old crianza. Good for the value.
