August 14, 2022 - Fairly one note and SCREAMING Paso Robles. Slightly past it’s prime now with dusty blackberry and a thick, syrupy balsamic property to it.

July 11, 2020 - Still drinking well but not a thrilling as it was years ago. Who knows where this is going as it is a unique (and rare) blend from Stephan.

June 8, 2020 - I wanted a red wine that could stand alone after homemade GF peach pie; this was it: dense, sweet black fruit, nicely resolved tannins, and delicious to the last drop. Opened for an hour or so but should have decanted, as that would have taken care of the sediment: not so much sediment, but there is no benefit in ruining the final sips with black crud!

January 10, 2018 - My dinner companion requested “red, rich, and deep”; I obliged with this: the most flavorful iteration of Petit Verdot that I know. Popped and decanted. Very full-bodied, ripe, and on the slightly sweet side, but quite delicious. Drink or hold; should last at this level for a few years.
