July 28, 2023 - Nice wine with cherry and plum. Benefitted from air and took on a bit of weight.

February 14, 2023 - Definitely young but very friendly; plum and earthy/mushroom notes on the nose, darker fruit (blackberry) on the palate with more subtle forest notes. Lighter than previous vintages and doesn't seem quite as complex; could be age? Tannins are barely present; was almost too light overall for a steak, though still very nice.

May 14, 2021 - On night one, this wine was pure red fruits, nice acid, super fun and refreshing. Coming back on night two, the wine is more elegant. Plum, cassis, baking spice, and thyme/oregano on the nose. The herbs were not present at all on night one, so this definitely needed time to show all the complexity. Medium body, good acid, good tannin. About as far from a spoofed CA merlot as you can go. Great, but give it time.
