  Nice balance. Fruitiness. Drinks well, but not super compelling.

  January 27, 2023 - This wasn’t flawed, I just have no basis for reviewing a wine like this and giving it a numerical score.
  
  This was my choice for my local group’s weekly tasting, where the theme was a blind “stump the chump”. I gave this a short 30-45min decant. I actually guessed this right, as it had a distinct natural vibe to it. Semi-lean, but lots of red berry fruit to it with cedar. Green too. Even after being open a while, lots of tannin, but good acidity (lots of cranberry). Fresh. Compared to a French carignan next to it, this seemed very “natural”, so I don’t know if I can give it much credit for being distinctly varietally correct since it seemed focused on highlighting how natural it was. Hard to guess the drinking window, but I’d say this is young and starting its peak window the next 3-5yrs. After that, anyone’s guess.

  November 26, 2022 - about a 2 hour slow ox. Still super tight and tannic, more air coaxes out beautiful deep fruit, but this is a baby that should be left alone for awhile.

  August 30, 2021 - Dark dense ruby-purple. Sandalwood, very dark berry fruit on the nose. Lots of grippy tannin on my first sip... letting this rest in the decanter a bit more... (y'all, this needs some time still, glad I've got two more in the wings!)

  May 18, 2020 - Something of a funky nose that doesn't seem to be blowing away. Delightful berry fruit on the tongue--blackberry, blueberry. A "big" mouthfeel--almost viscous, Nice tannin and acid. Fun to enjoy tonight, but my remaining stash will stay sideways for quite a while.
