February 4, 2022 - Nicely integrated and lush without being jammy, thankfully missing the Lemon Pledge tang I sometimes get from petite sirah.

August 4, 2020 - It's shed a little of its baby fat, and is coming into its own, albeit still pretty primary. It's a giant fuzzy ball of purple fruit, but not jammy somehow. It has a touch of the creamy/sherbet texture i find in shiraz sometimes. I'll let the other bottles rest for another year, and am curious to see where it goes next.

May 18, 2019 - A young wine by any measure - color, nose, flavors. Being my first Ghost Dog, but having had several vintages of Kata, I was mostly disappointed. It didn’t have the balance, depth, or overall interest of its big brother. But, six hours later (and 1/2 bottle in), I thought things started to open up and mellow out. I will give the next bottle a few more years, or decant for 12 hours.
