Rich raspberry, blueberry, mineral, smoky, white pepper, and horse sweat notes. Picks up lavender note with more aeration. Tannic, but still balanced and well-integrated. A fantastic everyday drinking wine.

Relatively well balanced, still a little young, blackberry, cherry, great for everyday drinking.

Excellent for everyday drinking. I think it has a few more years before it’s over the hill.

Rich and meaty and full of blackberry fruit. Silky smooth, with good backbone and structure. Young, this can be enjoyed now or cellared. This needs to be your thing, but if it is, stock up and thank me later.

this stunk of brett and cassis.... palate brought more brett with some cedar mulch and the unpleasant mouthfeel of unwanted secondary fermentation. :(

Blackberry jam coats the palate with a mixture of leather and herbs de Provence. A gamey finish lingers effortlessly. Young, but fantastic. You have to want this. But if it's your thing, it won't disappoint.
