Aug 23rd, 2018Fruity AF and I’m okay with it. The body is lighter than I’d surmise and the vanilla of the oak comes through in a delightfully floral way. Not exceptionally complex but not one-note either. Blackberry coulis and red currant jam without being cloying. Could get some comely leather notes with age but I’m good with it now.

May 20th, 2017Very good - like a better version of the Kirkland Washington red blend. Right up there with some decent Napa wines. Bought at The Still.

I’m a fan of this wine - it’s supple and has great character. Delicious.

Like the darkness at the bottom of a well, the flavors of this wine seem to be everywhere and bottomless. Baked blackberry pie, Smokey spice, clove, cocoa and leather are all there in this dark rich wine. A finish that seems to wrap you up and envelope the air around you. You’re stuck at the bottom of a well, but at least you’ve got a great bottle of wine.
