90 minute decant. Garnet red in the glass. Floral and toasted bread aromas leading to flavors of red and blue fruits, dark chocolate, toasted caramel, cocoa and cinnamon. Rich, vibrant and complex with good depth. Nicely balanced with a velvety, sophisticated texture. Smooth, silky, moderately long finish. Approachable now with sufficient air and some upside potential for further cellaring. Very enjoyable.

Napa - All my COVID finds; 4/29/2021-5/5/2021 (Napa): Really enjoyed this on the initial sip but over time it started to feel a bit primary. I would say it is good for the price but when you have Ontogeny for the same thing its hard to justify.

Not even close to the 2016. For a c-note, this was disappointing. One and done-hope the 2018 is better.

Deep purple color. Nicely balanced, good structure with medium tannins. Dark fruit, plums, and cherries.
