January 1, 2023 - Clear medium ruby/garnet; clean medium plus nose of barnyard, ripe red cherries, soil, pine and savoury herbs; dry; medium plus acidity; low tannins; high alcohol; medium body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of cocoa; medium plus finish; wait a few more years for more tertiary to develop; better than first bottle but still disappointing - given the price point, hoping it continues to improve

June 30, 2021 - Delish. Like a Pinot with that grungy edge. Loved it and can’t wait to drink more.

December 20, 2020 - Showing a pale purple appearance the wine presents you with a beautiful nose of eucalyptus, sweet cherry and oak. The palate is tannic, with a nice balance of acidity translating to a long finish. Give this wine another few years to mellow out, and it should drink beautifully for the next decade +

November 8, 2020 - Clear pale ruby; clean medium plus nose of jammy red cherries/strawberries, savoury herbs, soil and cedar; dry; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; high alcohol; medium plus flavour intensity; pfn with addition of cocoa; medium plus finish; wait a couple more years before drinking; a little muddy and simple right now - hoping it will gain complexity with age

September 8, 2020 - Intense raspberry on the nose and in the mouth. It is full, rich and layered and cut bu bright, minerally acidity.
