Deep ruby red in appearance. A lifted nose of bright cherry, crushed raspberry, and sweet plum, followed up by dried herbs, white pepper, and a touch of pipe tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and rich yet fresh, held together by smooth tannins and lively acidity. Layers of ripe red berries, cocoa, and subtle savory notes are mixed with warm baking spices and earthy detail. The finish is long, smooth, and spicy, marked by a plush texture and lingering aromatics. Drink till 2036.

2022 vintage. Medium-heavy body. Drank more like a Syrah. Smooth overall with spice markers every few seconds across the palate road. Outstanding for “California” and not vineyard/AVA specific juice. 3.20.26.

2 hour decant(some cloudy sediment). A remarkable purplish ruby red color. On the nose: dark cherry, caramel, creme de cassis, black olives, cedar. Taste: Power and elegance! juicy, opulent wine with stewed cherries, milk chocolate, iron, meaty and a peppery, toasty oak, cocoa long finish with just a touch of heat. YUM! Cannot wait to try again with more age on it.
