July 31, 2021 - Starting to shed all of its fruit; mostly tertiary notes now. Drink up.

March 16, 2020 - This 50/50 blend of Grenache and Mourvedre deftly balances fresh fruit and mature character to deliver a wine worthy of pulling from the Palumbo cellar. Tasted initially in early 2019, this has developed savory aromas of cedar, tilled earth, dried leaves, and leather to go with baked cherries, herbal, and rose petal. Easy to drink and smooth on the palate, the black cherries offer a juicy lift to the slightly bitter notes of clove, black licorice, mineral, spice, and pepper. Smoke, tobacco, and a hint of orange peel linger on a very satisfying finish. Drink now! Excellent — 90pts

May 26, 2019 - Tasted again during the Palumbo members party. A harmonious blend of 50/50 Grenache & Mourvedre displaying baked raspberry, dried herbs & rose aromas. Black cherries coat the palate as this fruit forward wine is ready to go. Moderate acid, w flavors of tar, mineral, smoke, lead pencil & citrus.
