Medium dark magenta. Soft nose of barrel spice, forest, and raspberry. Early on, the fruit hid behind tannins, herbs, and earth. After a couple of hours, pure red cherry fruit emerged and balance was restored, although the finish was a bit short. Overall a good effort that's still going strong.

Further to my Note of Aug. 1, '19; this is #5. This continues to please--Cab Sauv (and Merlot?) make this more interesting than an unclassified Sangiovese. It's holding well with at least 2-3 years left. Glad to have more. Elevate to notable+.

Non descript, drinkable but nothing to write home about. Definitely past it’s prime drinking window.

Simple yet pure. Bright red fruit, spices, and a nice subtle note of funk. Good QPR at $15.
