March 25, 2024 - Placed first in our blind tasting with some similar bottles from Oregon and California. Some funk at first with an hour decant but blew off by hour two. Strong red fruit. Should get better with time.

November 12, 2022 - 3 hour decant (open 4 hours by end of dinner). Paired with Cedar plank salmon. Medium- body, subtle fruit (blue/red) but nicely balanced with tannins. Very nice now with all that air but will wait a few more years so the air is not required.

August 14, 2022 - Drank over a few days. Delicious wine that evolves nicely and clearly has a long life ahead of it. As the tannins mellowed this showed more darker fruit and shifted from acidity to more sun-kissed purple fruit. Would suggest waiting a bit or decanting to help the wine show.

July 8, 2022 - Day 1, much more fruit forward with acidity lifting the earthier notes. Day 2 the fruit receded a fair amount and some baking spices started coming out and mingling with underbrush. Little heavy for a summer wine (or at least drinking in the sun).

May 29, 2022 - Very red-fruited, with just a hint of brett. Light bodied and easy to drink on a warm day. But the finish was quite short and watery, so down-graded in my view just a bit.
