  April 7, 2024 - Initially, this was a good but somewhat generic post-modern red -- high acidity, integrated tannins, crunchy red-fruit flavors -- that made it refreshingly tasty but not special. Over two nights it showed occasional flashes of more richness, and it ended up with a strong black-pepper character, so moving from a Grenache-like profile to something more like Syrah. I think it will become more interesting with more time in the cellar.

  April 30, 2022 - Not so different from when we tried it a few months ago: dark red fruit (more brambly as it ages), some gamy notes, and definitely reminiscent of a Cote rotie - although this is a bit lighter on its feet than many syrahs. The finish goes on for what seems like days—savory, gamy, and smooth. DEELISH.

  November 30, 2021 - Dark red, nearly opaque. Aromas of licorice, blueberry, and pepper. Palate has spicy mulberry and plum notes with some currant/raspberry lurking in the background. This harmonizes with 30 minutes in the glass and gets better. The finish is medium. Not much change in this since it shed its baby fat. Drink or hold.

  November 4, 2021 - Holding aside the fact that I will try anything Raul Perez has a hand in making, this is a lovely wine. In some ways, it reminds me of a Cote-Rotie, with a slightly gamy undercurrent to dark red fruit and spice. The wine is losing its earlier fruitiness and becoming more savory.
