    March 5, 2019 - This is a beautiful wine. Deep ruby color, full body, dark fruit flavors with refined tannins. Drinking well now but will try to hold on to the other bottles for a couple of years.

    February 17, 2019 - Short decant. Beautiful cherry fruit aromatics. Smooth texture. Fruit forward with a peppery finish. Plenty of life ahead on this one.

    January 16, 2019 - Dark and deeply pitched, with earthy aromatics. This wine is quite enjoyable today, yet I'm looking forward to tracking its development over the next several years.

    October 27, 2018 - Decanted for an hour, shared with friends for 90 minutes (other bottles opened). Cool label. 50% Syrah, 30% Graciano and 20% Grenache. Deep ruby purple color to edge. Big aromatics of blue and red fruit, some vanilla and spice notes. Not a new oak kind of nose, maybe a little whole cluster. Palate is lighter than the nose, which is a good thing. A little note of cocoa/espresso to complement the fruit. Good lift, smooth tannins that linger. Finish is a little short but it's such a young wine/vineyard. Not your "typical" Paso red and see this aging 7-10 years easily.
