Blackberry and black cherry fruit, with vanilla, chocolate and licorice notes. Plush wine which has aged well. — a month ago

Decant for sediment and pour(decent chunky/fine sediment). A striking dark ruby red color. On the nose: jumping from the glass are port drenched cherries, pencil shavings, tobacco, toffee, balsamic, and cinnamon. Taste: silky, balanced, still fresh wine with currants, little dried cherry, tobacco, earth, dried herbs, and a spicy saline graphite satisfying finish. YUM! In the home stretch, drink. — 3 months ago

See previous notes. An amazing 4 Trophies at Australian wine shows. I still have 4 bottles of the 2017 Reserve which should be excellent. — 9 months ago

Ruby with aromas of black cherry, violet, plum, and a bit of mushroom. On the bud, it’s rich and velvety with cherry, strawberry, and stewed fruit flavors. Medium finish. — 2 months ago

[35% Tempranillo, 28% Grenache, 21% Tannat, 14% Syrah, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon] Still dark purple color, dark fruit and earthy aromas and flavors, some nice depth and balance and also lots of structure, I’d call this quite an unique Sierra Foothills red due to the cepage, seems like it will last quite a while, kudos to Hank!! — 8 months ago

Found… perhaps a bit late. It was fine but I recall it being better younger. — 3 months ago

Trying something new tonight after so many “tried” us today. A really nice surprise, perfectly aligned with our Napa big bold and jammy liking, with tampered acidity after decanting. So glad I have my rib to move through days like this and life in general. Giving God the praise admit the storm. — 3 months ago
