November 25, 2021 - Still very tight, even two days after opening. I’ll be waiting at least a few years to open another.

January 9, 2021 - Opened somewhat by accident, but a very happy accident. PnP, served at 55 degrees. Serious juice that needs serious time in bottle. I've had many wines that coat or stain the glass, but I've never had one that *paints* the inside of the glass.... swirling this wine left a thick coat that only started to develop legs after maybe 20 seconds. Very good, and got better over the couple hours we drank it.. but way too thick at the moment. Much heavier than I was expecting,and has many Years ahead of it. HOLD, or decant for at least a couple hours.

December 26, 2020 - One of our favorite discoveries of the past year - enjoyed first in the tasting room and have subsequently bought 2+ cases.
This wine explodes out of the bottle, dark and glass coating. Deep black fruits, chalky fine tannins, just amazing mouthfeel. The length goes on for minutes, just amazing juice.
I enjoy this more than some Schraders I've had over the years, TRB styling with a unique power to it3 people found this helpful Comments (1)
