2010....great great wine — 4 years ago
2013. Opened my first bottle. Wow it’s really good right now. Great nose, strong acidic backbone tells me many years left. Tannins have eased but still have a touchy grip, for a great mouthfeel. Black, red and then blue fruit. Just really enjoyable. Love this vineyard and Melka’s work at Nine Suns. One of my favorites! — 2 months ago
Purple red, very good clarity, moderately extracted pigment. Spearmint, thyme and raspberry notes in nose. Raspberry, cola flavors, tangerine peel finish. Nice acidity, medium body, slight seed bitterness in aftertaste. Needs a little time to integrate after opening. Moderate skin astringency emerges after 30 minutes. 24 hours later, boom, cherry and plum flavors with depth. Super wine if you can decant it long enough, impressive varietal character — 5 years ago
Decanted 45 min though think it needs more time, very young wine. Very aromatic fruit when opening the bottle. Dark red fruit - black cherry and plum, raspberry; chocolate, coffee, graphite, pepper, plush tannins, well integrated acidity, high ABV but hides it well. Medium finish. Will be interesting to see this evolve over next few years in the cellar. — 5 years ago
