September 7, 2022 - Acker Pre-Auction September 2022 (Redbury Lounge): Really enjoyed this wine which isn’t as well known I don’t think, but drinks incredibly well. This area of California is underappreciated I suspect, but works with my style. A bit of a more vegetal note which I think adds some interest and when combined with fruit and more woodsy makes the wine quite nice.

October 3, 2021 - On the downslope but not bad. 13% alc, slight oxidation, some sediment, very faint raspberry nose, medium briary and licorice flavors.

March 3, 2017 - Cork crumbled when I tried to remove it, so I decanted this through a wire strainer. This shows very mature and resolved; a bottle last fall was corked but otherwise seemed younger. Cedar and smokey gravel and mint, red currant fruit, light in weight, plenty of acid. Pretty but starting to fade. I wonder if bottles with better corks would show younger.

September 30, 2016 - Still holding up quite nicely and actually improved with some time in the glass; The nose has pleasant aromas of dried herbs/mint, cedar and tobacco; The palate still has impressive concentration, with densely packed dark fruits and some dusty tannins
