January 27, 2020 - Delicious, and completely appropriate with duck sausage with green peppercorn and merguez sausages - the bright, tart, and slightly rustic qualities marrying perfectly with the highly seasoned foods.
Slightly lighter in character than my recollection with past bottles.
Rated +1 on a scale of -1 to +3. -

January 5, 2020 - Russk. More bay leaf than bell pepper. More primary then secondary. Nice firm mouthfeel. Good acidity. Get a couple more at $15 from Jay.

March 21, 2019 - Raspberry notes with a distinct smokey oak and cacao profile. Firm tannins and could probably use another year to round out a bit more. Fun wine.
