July 2, 2023 - As my long time buddy Coupe said, plenty of bright fruit and earth. Dark berry cobbler and dried herb, this great by itself and with penne ala vodka topped with Italian marinated grilled chicken. 91-92

September 6, 2022 - Didn’t enjoy this one. Might need a couple days but tasted tight with a narrow flavor profile.

July 29, 2022 - PnP and had with pizza. Thought this was really good even in this early age, medium + body, richly textured red fruit, with a silky long finish. Had a lot going for it
