November 11, 2023 - 3 hr air, with continual improvement over next 2 hr. Silky, tannins already integrating, black and blue fruit, ample secondary notes. Outstanding now.

August 2, 2023 - This is a top-end wine produced by Sterling Vineyards. Wonderful bouquet and smooth on the palette. It is very drinkable now.

July 22, 2023 - No clue what this wine cost while drinking it. It is a nice easy wine that is similar to other wines like this but not as candied as a Caymus. Fruit forward and rather nondescript - was just ‘fine’ but not someting I would run out and buy of that makes sense. No need to rush opening now but would consume within the next five years or so to still take advantage of the primary fruit.
