August 16, 2021 - This wine is very disjointed with hot tannins and acidity that is not balanced. Very fruit forward on the palate. The second day did not tame this wine, in fact, I believe it was hotter. This wine needs to be paired with hearty food to cover up the wines heat. Hopefully, this wine will mellow somewhat in my cellar.

Winervana Does not like this wine:
July 8, 2021 - The color and clarity of this wine is fine, but then the wheels fall off. It has thin aromas and a recessive palate of weird, unidentifiable fruit. The acidity is totally out of balance, plus bitter tannins and an odd funk on the finish. The only way I was able to get through it with dinner (a delightful grilled pork roast) was by refrigerating the hell out of it. The packaging is nice; too bad they didn't put half as much effort into the wine. I don't know how many cases were made, but, frankly, any was too much
