Double Blind Wine Tasting. #4 ranked wine of the day. Disappointed as I love this producer and it was such a great vintage. I guessed right on the varietal but though it was an off vintage from a lower quality producer. Great nose, but stringy and medium minus depth. Fades quickly too. Maybe an off bottle? — 2 years ago
Very lovely. Well balanced. Tannins were nice and soft. Warm red fruits came off with some airtime and this was very pleasant to drink. Little rougher second day from ETO but still pretty good. Glad I waited on this bottle — 3 years ago
A really pretty dark garnet color in the glass, almost impenetrable. The nose is very interesting and lovely, especially as time passes. Black and red cherries with some soft vanilla. There’s a bit of coffee and cigar smoke. On day two, chocolate and floral notes come to the fore. Earthy and fruity in equal measure.
This starts off as a very well balanced, quite nice wine but becomes so much more if you can let it grow into itself a little bit. Full bodied but not clunky. Smooth with vibrant energy. Soft tannins and nicely dry. On the palate you’ll find tobacco and chocolate with dark fruits. A nice streak of spice brings us on home to the long finish. This is no novelty, it’s just good wine. — a year ago
Closed off day 1. Sat on counter with Cory in for two days. Really nice. Now expressive on day 3. This needs time cellar. — a year ago
Grapes from hell. Off-dry, acid dab, rock-lick, gorgeous texture. This sh1t is on point! The struggle for life as depicted by a painter - makes you weep with incredulousness. Sugar-frosted bandaids and plantain-skin visions on the second day, if you can get there. Royal leanings. Sun-stroked skin. Impeccable scale. Dig it. — 4 years ago

Just sitting in a blueberry patch pulling them off the vines. Purple velvet in color. More green vegetables on day 2. — 8 months ago
