kind of a dishwater pale red in the glass; an inauspicious portent. I don't know, there was just something off. It had big flavor, maybe too much oak still? A little sweet? It just didn't hang together.

We picked this up at a tasting several years ago and were advised to wait until 2021/22. We opened this for Thanksgiving (2022) and it didn't disappoint. Smooth and delicious.

Not much change from my last bottle in 2019, still youthful. Red fruits have given way to black fruits. Smooth wine with a medium finish. A good pop and pour candidate, but no rush. I’ll hold my last bottle for at least 2 years.

Coravined one glass to taste next to Arista Toboni 2017. Nose a little muted--cherry, blueberry and rhubarb as well as a little metallic element. Tastes of ripe cherry, blueberry, cola, earth and savory elements like bay leaf(?). Velvety mouthfeel with soft acidity and tannins. Very good, but Lisa and I slightly preferred the Toboni.

Still too young, tannins strong. Should have let it decant a couple of hours. Fruit forward, needs more character. Willl try in a few years. Still a big fan of Arista winery
My first of three and likely opened too soon. Amazing nose upon opening. Bursting with red fruit, some sour cherries, not a hard edge to be found. I’ll give my other 2 a year at least.

Pepper, loads of spice. I’d let this rest for a little longer. Solid wine, well made.

Better than the first bottle. Mouthfeel was silky, palate had a lot of smoke.
