Really nice blue fruit and fresh cherry with a super clean smooth palate and nice tannins. A little cedar and spice. . Balanced TBL

I really enjoyed this. Red balanced fruits, medium structure that is smooth and mouth coating. I loved everything about this. Highly recommended. TBL

Yes please can I hold hands with this wine while discussing things like the conundrum that is reconciling quantum and mechanical physics?

Day 1: Huge tease! This is super closed right now but what I am able to get is very elegant. Brambly red fruit with some savory herbs and spices, and just a hint of green stem. Palate is clean and juicy with some slight tartness. Medium acidity, medium- tannin. Clean short finish. Hoping this is a bit more expressive tomorrow.

Perfect nightcap at Marcel, after a perfect dinner at the Optimist. The Ford Fry Family is crushing it!

Pencil shavings, raspberry, chalky minerality and nice acid.

Wow a lot of pencil shaving bigger tannins (obviously having this a little early - wish I would have waited but still delicious)
