  This is drinking quite well now, and I would say through '24-'25 the way this wine is performing. Delightful, fruit forward wine - I would have guessed an even blend of cab & merlot, but it is 75% merlot. Rich red fruit & warm baking spices. Paired very well with a Szechuan peppercorn crusted NY strip.

  There’s still a faint dryness on the front palate but this is flabby and fading with soft fruit, and IMO passed its peak. Glad I had neighbors over so I didn’t have to try draining this myself. Drink Up.

  This opaque ruby blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petite Sirah is flush with black fruit, baking spices, cocoa, licorice and savory herbs. Full-bodied, fresh and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 15.0%), it is impressively dense on the mid-palate, weaving in a complementary amount of oak and a generous aliquot of grainy tannins. Medium-to-long on the back end, this is a delightful red that is clearly on an upward slope. Drink now-2028.

  As I wrote a few years ago and holds true today, this is nice blend of Merlot, Syrah & Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark garnet, almost ruby burgundy in color with a nose of some alcohol with dark fruit, forest, cedar, graphite, blackberry, baking spices, and black pepper. Full body with very firm tannins, rich and chewy with black cherry, blackberry and blueberries with a smooth finish.
