Light to medium garnet/ruby color. Aromas of red berries, wild herbs, baking spices and earth. Blend of strawberry, sour cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, raspberry along with some dark berry fruit on the palate. There are also notes of salami, black tea and dried herbs. Medium bodied but quite concentrated. Long finish includes a hint of graphite. Very “Beaujolais-like” in style. (Carbonic Maceration?) Solid. — a month ago
Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) with some Syrah (12%) and other red varietals (8%) blended in. Aromas of blackberry, smoke, salt and meaty bacon. The palate is full of dark berry/plum fruit with hints of black cherry and dark chocolate. Touch of vanilla on the long and silky finish. Solid complexity and nicely structured.

Tightly wound but fragrant and savory. Some plum flavors. Lots of other wild floral notes to me. Some charcoal and meat flavor. Overall good yet young. — a month ago

Lip-smacking and delicious! We had this with some shrimp summer rolls, some salmon, and some Wagyu, and it was wonderful with all of them. We also had a 2012 Roederer and a 2016 Brunello and it wasn’t outclassed. There is a tension in this wine: the freshness of the fruit and the tannins and the acidity and the earthy depth all came through with focused clarity. This was a wine with a dynamic sense of place and personality. Thank you Greg Brewer! — 19 days ago
