November 11, 2022 - 11eleven tasting: Drinking really well, mature, not terribly complex but the fruit is massive.

October 24, 2022 - Still a nice bottle, but it’s now fully mature and the fruit has dried out a bit. Peppered meat, cacao, blackberry. Drink now.

October 3, 2021 - Slightly jammy fruit--raspberry, stone fruit--on the tip of the tongue, Then I notice some black pepper spice, As the wine passes bzck towards rear palate, it seems to mellow out, I then get some pleasing baking spice sensation. A nice wine but certainly not a "special dinner" wine.

September 25, 2021 - 4th Saturday Brown Bagger (M&R's): Double blind. Jammy raspberry fruit and spice aromas. Medium-bodied, with abundant red and black fruit on the palate. Balanced, with good length and fruit in the finish. Ripe but not overly so, I guessed zinfandel here. (R&S)
