November 16, 2019 - Tasty wine. Notes of red fruit, cherry, tar and a touch of licorice. Much more primary than our past bottle.
Good with the Mamoun’s food, especially the chicken kebob, hummus and lamb shwarma.
Drink now or hold. Our last bottle, with Leslie and Erica in Princeton. -

September 14, 2019 - Single piece cork, no seepage.
Served at cellar temp, tasted over 2 days.
The first evening, the nose was sensational full of lavender and beautiful floral character
Palate was rustic and young, but not overblown as previous experiences with this producer. A bit four square on the palate but showing plenty of interest and upside. This is very primary.
This is a hold recommendation until 2024 before revisiting.

May 6, 2018 - What a lovely wine! Notes of red fruit, raspberry on opening then cherry, licorice, menthol, eucalyptus and a bit of smoked meat. Best with our lamb shwarma and with the hummus from Mamoun’s; not as good with the lamb kebabs. Drink now but has time. Good value at $24 on sale.
