December 19, 2022 - A little rough at first that smoothed out after being open for an hour. Fruity but not a fruit bomb.

March 11, 2022 - Aroma is blackberry and some light raspberry. Tastes nice and berry with raspberry and blackberry. Finishes with a hint of blackberry. Very nice but not the SuperWine like prior years. After sitting a while, a bit more fruity and a little stronger finish. Raised my rating a touch.

July 18, 2021 - Tasted alongside Jaxon Keys, Coyote, & Wilson Ellie’s. This wine helps to nicely contrast the styles of the 3 Wilson family of wineries winemakers. While this was the lightest color of the 4 wines , it was full bodied and flavored with an elegant, rich style. Strong fruit on the nose (perhaps raspberry or currant) and wonderful lasting finish. Not as bold as the Wilson but a lot more interesting than the first 2.

June 9, 2021 - Color - Dark Garnet with hint of purple.
Nose - Maybe raisins, dark berries, cigar box or bramble. A bit of a alcohol burn on the nose.
Palate - Smooth delicate tannins up front lasting well into the finish. Raspberry, plum, blackberries, oak. Acid might be a bit light which will shorten the aging life of the wine. Lacking that special something that would put it into the 90's
