August 12, 2013 - Red Fruit backbone, opened up considerably over the evening recommend decanting. Tart, slightly green, nice bouquet. Purple, deep color, no legs but slight heat.

May 11, 2012 - Beautiful. Aromas of red fruit, chalk and green peppers. Medium acid and tannins, flavors of under ripe blueberries and raspberries with a strong green peppers back ground. very savory. Long finish, mineral driven, wet stone-like. Delicious wine for those, like me, that like savory wines, it is green but with fruit to counterbalance. I suspect it will be phenomenal in 5 years.
