  Beautiful nose of violets and fresh garrigue. Round and full on the palate and showing an elevated level of alcohol. It has a fine, silky texture but the finish is a bit short and hot. Mmmm. This wine has an excellent track record for aging even in warm vintages so we'll see where it goes but right now it's a bit closed and off-kilter. 88?

  Cracking the whip; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Eagan, MN): N: Some sort of artificial red berries, almost like a Grenache from the Central Coast.
  
  P: Candied red fruit, drying oak on the finish with dried earth and minerals.
  
  Usually I would say I can stand this type of fruit but it is lacking something that keeps it lively and exciting. Seems so artificially made and/or heavily manipulated.

  Wine-a-palooza (Jason's house): This is a continuation of my belief that you should RUN away from any 100 point CDP. On release when the critics are reviewing them I suspect they show well because of all the fruit they possess. But with some age, there's nothing to back up all that fruit and you are left with a goopy mess.

  Wine Palooza (Eagan, MN): Well low 90s for sure. This is a reviewer that overrated this wine and others buying into it. Hot wine with spice, dark berries, earth and floral notes. Too modern for my tastes. Another joke of 100 point wine. Really Jeb?

  Ripe dark fruit, rich but refined, with a bit of earth and spice and a silky feel. Approachable now, but there is plenty of underlying structure. Excellent for the price.
