Pretty interesting wine. Fairly closed down, dense and structured/tannic for PN. Kinda woody/barrely at this stage, which I never love but it’s clearly well made. Not giving up a ton of fruit, but I could see this being pretty excellent in a few years in the cellar if you like this style. Rich but balanced. 13.7% 2400ft Santa Cruz mtns Mount Eden and Swan clones. — a month ago
Kind of severe on first night. Tight. Acid and reduction. Much more open on night two. Decent saumur but not as good as I had hoped. — 2 days ago
Soft and accessible. Fairly fruity but quite earthy and old-school. Does not feel like a modern Napa cab. I would guess that there’s a decent bit of merlot in this, but I can’t be sure. Mulberries for days. Lacks a little bit of acid if I’m being a critic, but this was great with a peppered steak on a Friday night  — 24 days ago
Quite good for what it is. Easy and balanced. Great with sardines. — a month ago
Nice wine. Gaining depth and complexity. More of a pork chop Pinot than a roasted chicken Pinot. Next bottle in 2028. — 6 days ago
White and Yellow fruit. A bit waxy. 9mos in oak. Nicely balanced wine. The dry Douro whites have impressed me. — a month ago
Lacks length but bright and clean and interesting. Solid food wine — a month ago

Youthful but surprisingly accessible. This has some stuffing. — 2 days ago
