Great from the first drop. On opening very drinkable with slightly grippy tannins, juicy acidity, and a pleasant spicy melange of dark berries, tobacco, fig, & undergrowth. Peaked balance when tannins softened a bit at about 2 hours. Held strong day 2. Glad I bought a few. — a month ago

Wow! Home run on uncorking. So bold and drinkable. Subtle dark fruit and spice on the nose. Mouthwatering with dark berries and intense spice - but SO well balanced. Lingering tingling finish. — 3 months ago

A bit past it’s prime but still ok. Amber. Light and slightly sweet and a tad syrupy instead of crisp. Slightly nutty aftertaste. — 4 months ago

Nice drinkable Bordeaux blend on opening. Not much nose - the closest I can come to describing is a cross between a plum and a fig. Musky wet bark with minimal dark fruit and tannic with prominent minerals on the palate. Finish is long and very dry with with emphasis on bark and earth. Probably best with a dense stew. — 9 days ago

It is a lighter and extremely well balanced and drinkable fruit forward low tannin Pinot Noir. I’d score higher but the price for this low volume production is unrealistic. — 3 months ago

Straw colored. Light floral nose. Pleasant mouthwatering acidity with mild tartness of green apple and nectarine. Subtle butteriness at front transforms to a mineral tingle at the finish. Very unique. — 4 months ago

Not a favorite. Too tart - even after several hours. Seemed to be underripe. Light on the cherry and raspberry with tar, tobacco, and earth on the palate. Tannins we’re fine - lingering and balanced. Disappointing for a 2016 vintage. — 2 months ago

Solid good value daily wine. Earthy and complex dark fruits - dark cherry mostly - with spice and smoke. Well balanced. I like it’s uniqueness and am still trying to get a handle on the flavors. Probably best to be paired with slightly spicy food. Finish highlighted by a subtle lingering undergrowth. — 4 months ago
