Still bright, fresh and gluggable - but starting to add some savory components around the edges. A more thoughtful wine than a year ago, less adorable puppy, more inscrutable teenager. A pleasure, and I'm curious where this is heading.

Such a stunner. Decanted all afternoon and drank with Turkey dinner. It was perfect: Bright and light and bursting with fruit and herbs.

What can I say about the Dirty and Rowdy mourvedres I haven't already said - nobody else makes California wine you can guzzle with as much joyous abandon as these (and from mourvedre no less!). It is one of those rare reds that is thirst-quenching. This bottling manages to pull that off while being a bit more past its fruit elements than some of the others, heavier on the pebbly minerality than the primary juiciness.

While I may be biased, I still love this wine. Freshly structured pretty stuff.

Took this wild young stallion for a spin. Crazy red fruit, stems, and minerality. Well done @Hardy Wallace Giddy up!
