PnP. To the nose, black and red fruit, slight oak, earth with a touch of green. On the palate, pepper foremost with some bramble and allspice for spice. Fruit is a good mix of black (cherry > blackberry) and red (cherry, raspberry) with boysenberry. Tannins still providing adequate structure in laces. Medium mouthfeel and shorter length. Not overly complex but hits the right notes.

Consistent with my previous Oct 2023 tasting note (not as much for the Jan 2024 note).

PnP. 89-90. See previous note, but more plum (i.e., black plum) now. Still very good with more spice and less fruit, consistent with Santa Rita Hills.

Enjoyed this after an hour of air. Red berries with some eucalyptus and a smooth finish. Sadly my last bottle.
