Y’all who have written drink this by 2023 are insane. While drinking quite lovely right now, the tannin and acid give this wine at least another 3-5 years easy imo. Plum, blueberry, slate, iron, thyme, and ash. Tannins & acid are perfect the harrisa rubbed pork butt I made for dinner, and the flavors clearly sing together.
Do better CT community. Love y’all but you guys turn your nose up way to fast.
Wow. Better than I expected. Lovely nose of white pepper, leather, and black fruits. On the palate, lush, ripe but not overripe fruits, medium long finish, abd immmeduate smiles after tasting. Just a really enjoyable wine if not the height of sophistication. No rush, but ready to drink and enjoy.

A great bottle of wine for under $30. No hard edges, nice blue/black fruit with just a nice touch of Rhone pepper on the palate; mid weight and smooth on finish.

Consistent with previous notes but much open and accessible than a few years ago. Blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries, and smoked tar really stand out on this tasting. Linear but balanced and light on its feet. Drink 2020-2023. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 92.

Just a lovely, engaging wine - dark fruits, fine tannins, exceptional mouth feel with a soft peppery finish. An incredible bargain.
