December 5, 2023 - Damn...this is good! First time with this one and a beaty it is. 76% Grenache/13% Mourvedre/11% Syrah. Big wine, no surprise, with a jammy fruit profile of blackberries, black raspberries, and red plums. Very floral on the nose with mid-palate notes of red licorice, spice, earth, and fresh herbs. Full bodied wine great balance, snappy acidity, and incredible long finish. This is crazy good that will go the distance.

November 5, 2023 - My first try at one of the Fingers Crossed wines. 4 hour decant. Maybe my expectations were too high? Split the bottle at dinner with three others - two of which are wine importers. The wine seemed to be in a dumb phase. Somewhat one dimensional. All four of us agreed that it was somewhat lackluster and not especially interesting. Maybe I should have waited a few more years? I will give it some time and come back to this in a year or two...

October 26, 2023 - Ojai Food + Wine Festival; 10/26/2023-10/29/2023 (Ojai Valley Inn): Decanted for a little over an hour and this was absolutely singing! Way way more approachable than the Syrah which we had next to it. This was powerful but elegant, gorgeous red fruits and a silky mouthfeel. Lingered on the palette which was a welcome delight. Love this one. Significantly better than the bottle I tried about a year ago.

September 3, 2023 - Similar to my previous note. 4hr decant in the cellar. Served around 65, enjoyed with BBQ. Fantastic. Drink now with air or hold.
