July 9, 2013 - Best bottle of the three yet. This may be at its peak.

September 25, 2012 - Similar to my previous bottle, but less fruit and more body on the 1st night. I don't feel like this is going downhill at all.

September 7, 2012 - Still delivers on a budget price. Fruit have given way to tobacco, sage, and herbal notes.

January 1, 2012 - Deep rusty red. Light-handed notes of bright, tart red cherries and raspberries over barnyard and leather. Nicest on the second day. Juicy, with bright acidity and no tannins. Very different from the lush reds I usually encounter; this is quite lithe. Very nice.

December 27, 2011 - Garnet-purple. Strawberry, raspberry, spice and vanilla nose. Medium bodied, smooth fresh raspberries, cranberries, tart cherries, pepper, good acid, sweet tannins, chocolate, and a medium finish. This is in a surprisingly good place right now.
