  January 22, 2022 - Really interesting blend of red and white grapes - 63% Old Vine Mourvèdre, 18% Old Vine Semillon, 13% Old Vine Chenin Blanc, 3% Zinfandel, 3% Old Vine Barbera coming from San Benito, Contra Costa, Amador, Napa, Mendocino, Sonoma Counties. Decanted. Very tight for at least 2h after decant. Note is 4.5h after decant. Aromas of tart jolly rancher cherries and raspberries, herbs, cinammon, and bark. Palate also has prominent tart jolly rancher cherries and raspberries, mixed with herbs, bark, lemon. Bright acids and mild tannins on a medium body. Nice finish of fruit, anise, herbs and earth. Complex with a lot going on. This is a really well made wine and by those merits, it's worth a 92 score. But the prominence of tart, candied jolly rancher fruit flavors here are also what was present through all the reds in Dirty & Rowdy wines. I'm the finding that prominence of the tart, candied flavor throws the wine off balance and I love jolly rancher candies. But that's not what I'm looking for in wine. So in summary, Objectively, 92. Enjoyment-wise 89.

  January 14, 2022 - Two hour splash decant, though I did sneak a couple of early sips. I have waxed rhapsodic about Hardy’s wines in the past, including another 2019 YEAH! cuvée. I could do the same here, as the ‘After Midnight’ is complex, intellectually fascinating and also delicious. I could describe the ever-changing aromatic tableau that spans from wild berries to campfire embers. I could even write about the lifted yet finely balanced structure that propels flavors across the palate like a spaceship bound for the edge of the galaxy.
  
  I could do that, but…err…oh…I guess I did.

  December 31, 2021 - Heck yeah, light as a full moon on a cloudless night. That's a metaphor. Or a simile. Dang. Surprisingly deep plum ruby color. Earthy cherry cinnamon nose with hints of green Cali forests, a touch of pucker and sour cherry palate, lingering a while. Really fun and easy drinking while offering plenty to contemplate.
