2021 vintage. Last tasted 4.3.24 (9.4). Medium/medium-heavy body. Über-dark color. Some good graphite and went through the motions but approx 10 degrees too warm. Critical structure in absentia due to said warmth. Still pretty nice. 7.23.24. — 3 days ago

From magnum. Cork and wax were a mess. Totally disintegrated and required the coffee filter and everything just to pour and decant the wine

3 hour decant before dinner. Paired with wagyu ribeye steaks. Amazing. This wine was just balanced and smooth. Just delicious. — 7 days ago

Surprisingly good. Under 14% which I appreciated. Not giving a ton on the nose, but great red and dark fruit with sweet wood and earth. Nice finish too. — 6 days ago

Buried deep inside the cellar. Didn’t like it much 20 years ago but it’s evolved into a very good one. Short decant. Fine sediment that most stuck to the side of the bottle. Black raspberry, floral notes, great color no brown edges even. Definitely California style but I was pleasantly surprised. — 8 days ago

Blueberry, eucalyptus, cedar lined cigar box, cherry. Could use a year or two but great “value” considering some of its neighbors prices. — 21 days ago

Bright citrus and melon over jasmine, oak, and pear. Crisp acidity balanced out by rich flavor. — 9 days ago

It’s a decent steak wine. Not aromatic at first, needed an hour or so. Still not enough but the oak notes began to come through. Some nice fruit, black cherry, bit of spice, enough structure to counter the salt. Was very smooth while eating. — 4 days ago
