June 23, 2022 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is heavy sediment in the bottle. It smells like blueberry. It tastes like blackberry. The body is full. The wine has coarse texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

August 23, 2021 - It's tough for me to pinpont the nose on this one. Some dark fruit emerges, but little else. Smooth, smooth palate. Notes of cassis, plum. A decent helping of the Rutherford dust. It's drinking well now, but I would not wait any longer. A moderate finish.
