October 26, 2023 - Flawed bottle.
Bottle turning to vinegar. Not to knock Costco, but I tend to get more corked / oxidized wine from them per-capita.
Last bottle tasted this Summer and it was great.
Bummer. -

Paired well with BBQ pork shoulder. -

November 10, 2022 - As others have said, fruit forward for a CNDP. Black raspberry and white pepper, with some fig overtone and iron more than stone. Medium finish. Not as complex as other contemporaries , but enjoyable enough. Even after an hour I get a little chemical overtone, so maybe my bottle wasn’t kept varefukky ejough before it got to me. But probably not because the fruit and tannins are both crisp and clear.

October 20, 2022 - Dark red, nearly black. Black raspberry, white pepper, iron, fig. On palate, medium body, medium acidity/tannins and long finish. Similar flavor profile to nose. Enjoyed this- not as good as prior tasting but that could have been the food pairing. 91-92+
