April 9, 2021 - Darker translucent ruby. Copious floral scents of roses and violets on the nose, joined by raspberry, forest floor, and fine earth. Layers of buoyant, ripe, and gently tart red berry fruit cut with iron bits and rocky earth on the palate. Refreshing acidity and smoothed but structured tannin leading to a long finish of brier, raspberry, and grippy iron granules. Beautiful in its adolescence, this wine has a bright future.

February 14, 2016 - I'm glad that I still have one bottle left. Wow.
Popped and poured. Great nose of red fruits, and herbs. Taste of strawberry, cherry, blueberry, herb de provence. Good, rounded tannins and great acid levels. Long, smooth, finish of blackberry, cherry and leather. -
