December 19, 2023 - It's great right now, but it would benefit from another year plus or a longer decant.

August 20, 2022 - Deep purple color. Fruity nose of dark cherries, plums and spice. Super smooth fruit on the palate with dark fruits, stony minerals, mild acid with a finish that is not super long. Very pleasant vino!

March 30, 2022 - Opened this on the heels of drinking a bottle of the 2017 vintage of this wine. The 2018 is more fruit forward and richer in style than the 2017. The 2018 is approximately 33% merlot and 67% cabernet, compared to the 2017 which is 95% cabernet and 5% merlot. Both wines are exceptional. At this point in their evolution, my preference is the 2017, which is more savory.
