October 16, 2021 - Always a solid red but not as nice as the 2015, perhaps I should wait a year to try the next bottle. A bit tart on the finish. Nice legs but not as robust as previous vintages.
Always worth picking a case up for the price. -

August 24, 2019 - Medium dark reddish purple with a very thin rim. Nose is very fresh with tart purple fruits that smell slightly under ripe. Lots of blackberry, raspberry and plum. The taste is exactly the same: tart, slightly under ripe purple fruits. Medium bodied. High acid. Tart finish that is medium long. Lacking a little in body and fruit extract. Average. Sadly I was expecting more from this winemaker.
