  May 1, 2023 - One of the best Zinfandels I’ve had in a while. Not overly fruity with great minerality. Full finish.

  August 1, 2021 - 45 min decant.
  V - Clear deep ruby with medium meniscus and high viscosity.
  N - Raspberry, vanilla, coffee, cocoa. With some tomato leaf.
  P - Primarily dark fruit. Plum, blackberry with black raspberry. Oaky notes less on the palate, but there is a bit of smoke.
  complexity became deeper with time out in the air.
  Full bodied with Med acidity but still high level of fine-grained tannins. Med+ length.

  July 29, 2021 - Smoke, meat, violets; strangely lacking in fruit. Tannins softening and a spicy finish.

  February 20, 2021 - Must be in a dumb phase, greatly underwhelming. Love the producer, but this didn't do it for me

  September 11, 2020 - Some of the sharp edges from the 2019 tasting note have worn down. Blackberry, black cherry, powdery cocoa, a touch of herbal, perhaps anise. Acidity is still going strong, minerals, and tannins all there, just a bit more integrated.
