April 24, 2023 - Yum! Dark, even rich, with a brooding character, but the acid and spice pick it up enough not to lumber. Cola, but without the raspberry overtones from regions to the south. Maybe stewed fruits, but in a very good way. Drinking wonderfully in the first half of 2023.

August 28, 2022 - Excellent right now. Perfumed, strong acidity is melding into nicey structed tanins, fruit is balanced with some herbal elements. Really shows how nicely these wines develop with a few years of age

August 12, 2019 - Medium purple in the glass with pink edges. The nose offers modest notes of dark cherry, stewed cranberry, some oak, and an herbal element.
On the palate the wine presents deep, brooding flavors of cranberry, cherry cola, and forest floor. It’s not super complex across the mid-palate, but it’s a really nice wine on the whole. A prominent acidic backbone suggests some life to this wine. It would be interesting to revisit it at the 10 or 15 year point.
