March 20, 2020 - Now is probably a good time to drink this wine up. Still great, but I don't really see it improving with any additional aging.

May 28, 2019 - One of the best California merlots and soon to be obsolete. Lots of sweet red fruit, good body and minimal tannins. One could say a fruit bomb, but more sophisticated than that.
