Continues to improve. A very nice cinnamon spice note has emerged on the mid-plate to compliment the green pepper and pencil lead notes. I tend to open this wine during the week with leftover mixed grill from the weekend, and it works perfectly. Drink 2023-2028. Technical score: 91. Enjoyment score: 93.

Last bottle of this vintage, weekday dinner with lamb chops and this is lovely and exactly what I wanted. Not necessarily at its maximum drinking window but why wait the 2018's are drinking nicely also.

This is our house wine, so versatile with a wide variety of food. This vintage is opening up nicely, much more round, textured, and accessible than 9 months ago. Paired nicely with leftover mixed grill. Drink 2021-2028. Technical score 90. Enjoyment score: 92.

Time and again, our favorite go-to value, weeknight wine. This vintage is fresh, juicy, and immensely drinkable at just a few years of age. Took about 30-min to fully open up in the decanter (not necessary). More sweet than savory at the present, but it's held in check by good acidity and tannins on the finish. Best with food. Drink 2020-2028. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 91.
