  January 1, 2024 - Totally agree with galewskj except I'd go a point higher. What surprised and impressed me was how such a relatively young red blend could feel so soft on the palate; yet not be just fruit juice. Everything seems in balance. Does such a wine get better, or just stay unchanged? Such a treat to experience. Thanks Jason

  January 1, 2024 - 2023 New Years Eve: See MN Wine Junkie for treatment. Like all Harlan wines, there is a voluptuous softness to this wine that washes over you as you drink it. Red fruit with very relaxed tannins, a dollop of acid, vanilla and spice.

  December 31, 2023 - New Years Eve (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Very dark red/purple color. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. Dark fruits, quite herbaceous, lots of oak, firmly tannic byt with a velvety texture. I seem to be the outlyer here, but the herbaceous aspect didn;t work for me.

  December 31, 2023 - 2023 New Years Eve Celebration! (Kevin's House): PnP - I typically don't buy second wines, but this wine is certainly an exception. Unlike some other second wines (and especially second wines in Bordeaux), This wine does share the characteristics of its big brother, Promontory. Although the wine is not cheap, it does compare favorably with similar priced wines.
  
  This wine, like Promontory, shows plush fruit (red, black and blue) with ultra fine tannins, coupled with some cocoa dust, some mellow earthy notes, some sweet tobacco and a hint of ash and oak. This was my WOTN amongst some pretty darn good wines! 95+ and would have benefitted with an hour decant. Absolutely delicious!
