June 7, 2019 - Nice surprise. Wasn’t sure what to expect based on previous notes. Nose of dark red cherry and a bit of eucalyptus. Lightning at the rim...looking like a well aged CDP. Great mix of fruit and earthiness. Hold it in your mouth for a while and you feel the acid and remaining tannins. Medium weight with a relatively nice, long finish for what it is. At $40, I’m thinking a great QPR. Love what Eric is doing and will look for more of these.

April 5, 2019 - Drinking surprisingly well given the recommended drinking window. Classic aged CDP color and nose, palate a bit oaky but with nice tertiary characteristics. Finish is straightforward, nothing special or of note.
