  December 19, 2021 - Pure bright Merlot Fruit. Better the 2nd day. High acid, could age another 5 - 8 years. Well made wine.

  November 24, 2021 - Just a marvelous Rutherford Merlot with a nose of plumb and cedar. Medium in body and acidity, this wine is magically blended and surprisingly complex on the palet. Flavors of lavender, chocolate, and tobacco with a distinct minerality that is synonymous with the region.

  July 14, 2021 - 4/5 opaque
  Clean
  Fresh blackberry, hint of cedar, raspberry, vanilla on the nose
  Bright ripe but not cooked fruit and cedar on the palate
  Acid plus, beautiful acidity
  Alcohol plus, 13.3% alcohol
  Fine tannin, nicely made to drink now
  A beautiful and bold Napa Merlot
