3 hour decant(some cloudy sediment). A majestic deep purple color. On the nose: captivating nose of dark berries, baked ham, ground spice, floral and herbal notes. Taste: velvety, rich, big wine but not heavy with dark cherry/plum, leather, gamey, bitter chocolate, and a spiced cedar licorice long finish. YUM! — 8 months ago

White Rhone valley varietals and oysters...not a classic pairing, but why not its Christmas eve.

1.5 hour decant. A majestic light murky gold color. On the nose: lemon, vanilla nuts, apricot, honey, peach, oyster shells. Taste: smooth, creamy, oily mouth coating wine with white peach, lemon, mango, salinity, oak, white pepper and minerals. YUM! — 2 years ago

A deep golden straw color leaps from the glass with heady aromas of apricots, white peaches, dried pineapple, lilacs, vanilla, clove and a touch of flint. Densely packed, round and seamless on the palate the wine is stuffed with an array of stone and tropical fruits crossed with a racy acidity and an über long finish! — 4 years ago

Yes I know I should’ve waited. It’s young. You’re crazy. Blah blah. It was freaking delicious. Now I will wait on the other 4…….or maybe I won’t 🫣 — a year ago

Quite strong diesel notes at the beginning but soon crossed over to tropical fruits. Was maybe expecting a bit more.... — 3 years ago

30 min decant(little cloudy sediment). A formidable medium garnet color with some bricking. On the nose: perfumed notes of raspberry, vanilla, forest floor, and cedar. Taste: A creamy, juicy, balanced wine with red plum, smoke, touch of blueberry, minerals, earth, spicy vanilla oak, and a medium finish. Sticking pins in my Packers doll and crossing my fingers, let's see what happens. — 3 years ago

Tasted blind and the herb note I detected had me dumbfounded. It never crossed my mind it being a syrah. Nice balance and still vibrant. — 2 years ago

A bright beautiful crimson ruby red in color. Nose - candied cherry, vanilla and a barnyard funk are the initial aroma scents followed by cedar, spice and florals . Taste red-black fruits, vanilla and cedar hit the palate with a mild tannic kick and notes of chocolate strawberry espresso and a long dry finish. We’ll give the next bottle a little more time to see how all its flavors come together. A big wine for sure and fun to try for the first time. — 3 years ago
