April 11, 2024 - Consistent with past notes. Great rich nose and more layered ripe dark fruit than a typical Syrah. Exceptional value from a great producer.
January 26, 2024 - Continues to drink well. In that nice zone of good fruit and good structure. Still a little too much oak or it would score higher.
June 28, 2023 - Tannins have resolved and oak is better integrated. Really drinking well now.
August 28, 2022 - More open and accessible than our review 7 months ago. Still a lot of sediment, but the fruit is ripe and pure. Didn't even decant. Got some stoniness this time around that added to complexity and allure.
April 2, 2022 - A great wine at a much more reasonable price than Lewis cabs. Brilliant blend of dark fruit, heavy sediment, but well balanced with a long finish
February 17, 2022 - Massive sediment on cork and in bottle. Big nose of ripe fruits and oak. Palate is similar, with wave of american oak and mint in finish. Give this an hour or two in decanter to settle in. Dry chocolate notes emerge to balance everything out. Oak becomes more complex, imparting sandalwood.
November 26, 2021 - Wonderful dark fruits. Great for Thanksgiving dinner. Still a bit young, hot on the palette. My experience with Lewis cabs and red blends is that it takes 10 years for them to enter their primary drinking window.
November 25, 2021 - Liquid Velvet right now. Very well integraded. Dark Fruit, fall spices.
August 19, 2021 - WS is wrong in their review. Wine is flamboyant with dark chocolate and blue fruit compote but has a solid structure and long smooth, albeit oak driven finish. Big, bold American wine for sure but for the price this is a great deal.
July 1, 2021 - Nice wine with good fruit but still a bit oaky.
