2019 vintage. Interesting wine. Medium-heavy body. Decanted and tasted after 45 mins-2.5 hrs. Seemingly unfined/unfiltered as it was throwing a little chunky and powdery sed. Ended up tasting more like an experiment in combining California AVA's together on the fly/in the same glass. Big ripeness, mixed with a Cran-Grape component with a generous amount of additional acidity thrown in. Was better earlier on and got weirder the longer it was open. Obviously suffering through the indiscretions of youth but give this one some time and patience. Needs a lot of latitude. 9.23.23. — 13 hours ago

This had lots of dark fruits, mineral, forest floor, savory spices, menthol & violet. Give it some air before serving as it is youthful & structured. — a month ago

Such a unique take on Zinfandel. Lower alcohol and much more red-fruited than is typical, the nose has great purity of cherry and raspberry compote, crushed rock, and a dusting of baking spice. In the mouth it’s got great flavor concentration in an aerodynamically lean package. Intense red fruit and lots of crushed rock. Great acids. A perfect summer Zin. This winery never disappoints, in my experience. — 2 months ago

Paired perfectly with medium rare filets. Mild tannins for such a young Bordeaux but the Cabernet Franc gave the earthy rustic flavors that tamed the tannins and gave structure and depth to the wine. Really didn’t need decanting and was good right out of the bottle. — 3 months ago

2023 summer. Still lots of dark berry fruit and powdery density - it would be even better bwith 10 more years, but tasty and engaging now — 9 days ago

Mooie Saint-Emelion, geur had zich wat beter mogen ontwikkelen. Smaak is prima, nu (2023) al goed drinkbaar. — 2 months ago
