October 8, 2022 - Perfectly fine, but completely lacking in interest or excitement. Balanced enough, good acidity and 'bite'... erm, that's it. Disappointing compared to the 2017.

July 31, 2022 - Drank my last bottle tonight w pasta & fresh pesto. It’s delicious. Slightly soft, no noticeable oak. Perfect for a warm summer night on the deck. Would work alone or with food.
