November 24, 2023 - This is still drinking very well since my last taste in 2016. Beautifully mature at this point and still has some life left in it. I wouldn't wait more than a couple of years on the next bottle, though. Thoroughly enjoyed this with Thanksgiving leftovers. I preferred this to the 2014 Bedrock Bedrock Vineyard Heritage, but another experienced taster preferred the Bedrock.

April 24, 2021 - So sad! My last bottle from a great vintage. The depth of character was amazing. The meaty character of the Mourvedre really comes through. Perfectly balanced.
