  November 20, 2023 - Wow! This wine is drinking beautifully … front to back starting with gourgous bouquet that Barbara pointed out from the moment I poured the glass. Followed by sweet blackberries and from front to back of tongue just wonderful full-bodied with refined tannins that are just Yummy!
  Had first bottle over a year ago and wasn’t impressed so this has come a long way in the bottle! It’s going to be hard not to open a second bottle during the Eagles vs. Chiefs football game Monday night.

  March 5, 2023 - Hadn’t touched my small stash of Black Fruit since I purchased it from the winery. Short decant and it seemed ready to go. Blue and black fruits, violets and cassis on the nose. Fairly rich, smooth, chalky finish with integrated tannins. Nice finish, Drinking well at this stage, considering the vintage. Well done, minds me of the 2014 Juliet.

  December 29, 2022 - Pnp. Nose of violets. Black and blue fruits, chocolate, charcoal and plum. Full bodied, rich, balanced and smooth. Fine tannins and a long finish. Bolder than the Chappellet and Sequoia Grove consumed alongside it, but just as good.

  December 23, 2022 - Continues to slowly mature and improve. I think there is a lot of potential but doesn't put it all together for me yet. Clearly best on second day. Muscle still overwhelming the fruit for me. Good tension and lively finish. Will hold off on my last bottle for at least a year to see if I can catch the peak.
