December 25, 2020 - Big beautiful red, delicious and full-bodied. Dark luscious fruit mid-palate, some oak and hint of strawberry, great structure. Drink up now as it's right where it should be now. Excellent with broiled steaks.

December 5, 2020 - In a great spot right now. Deep, dark fruits and well integrated tannins. Only detractor is a slight bit of heat on the finish. I'd say drink now and over the near term to enjoy the balance and avoid the heat potentially becoming more prominent.

September 13, 2020 - Garnet with amber edges, mostly opaque. Blackberry aromas with some vanilla and smoky tones. Full-bodied but lots of fruit, nicely balanced tannin and acid, very long dark fruit aftertaste, slightly hot. Outstanding wine, fully mature, but should easily hold several more years.
