October 19, 2023 - A very decent wine for the price. Medium body, slightly tart (?), good legs. Taste lingers fairly well. Tired by itself and with beef. Both ways good.

August 23, 2023 - V: medium garner
N: blackberry, leather, loam, oak, touch of barnyard.
T: blackberry, blueberry, dried fruit, vanilla
Full body, long finish, well integrated tannins which are well balanced. Medium acid. Lingering tannic dryness complements the cured meat finish flavors. Good price point.
Delicious. Decanted for about 30-45 min. Served with grilled lamb rack. -
