Medium complexity. Needs ~three years in the cellar to unwind a bit but this is good juice. — 13 days ago

Piquant, some volcanic sulfur wisps, bubble-gum, stewed bean and bay, and really elegant Pinot- like fruit. Beautifully resolved and at peak. — a month ago

Syrah 70% / Cab Sauv 14% / PV 16%
Varietally fermented & aged. French oak (10-14 months), then assemblage.

Prominent roasted, smokey aromas, leather, blueberry, blackberry, menthol, coffee bean, clove, black pepper, dried violets, pencil shavings.

Ripe blackberry, blueberry, and plum; vanilla bean, cocoa nib, black pepper, crushed rock / graphite. Fresh acidity; tannins resolving nicely but still robust.

Drink now with food now or revisit in 2-3yrs. (Nb. variance has been a factor - some have peaked) — 3 months ago

Consistently great wine. Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, dark berry, dark cherry, currants, cinnamon and spice, dark chocolate and smoked oak. On the palate, rich and full bodied, jammy fruits, dark berries and cherry, dark chocolate, hints of cinnamon, balsamic and espresso, smokiness/smoked oak. Long finish with hints of smoked citrus rind. Nice, chewy tannins. — 20 days ago

TJ. Absolutely delicious. Much lighter than expected. Fruit forward, lots of vanilla, a lil jammy, simple, easy to drink. A lil Smokey on the nose, Ben and Mere both really enjoyed! Would and will buy again. — 24 days ago

2019 vintage. A bit richer than expected. Slightly less grip than anticipated. This is a great wine “cheat code” for Spain and Rioja. Showing nicely now. 11.20.24. — a month ago
