  Nice plum and spice nose. Medium to full bodied, sage, pepper, black cherries, cedar, blackberries, dry grainy tannins, good acid, and a long finish that gets better the longer you let it linger. Excellent.

  2016, tasted July 2023. Very nice texture and smooth and round on the palette, ripe on the nose. Enjoyable.

  Perfect right now for my taste. Dark and brooding at first opens up on the pallet to chewy, chocolate notes. Fine silky tannin and long finish

  Delicious, smooth, dark berries on the nose and the palate. Was excellent with 15 bean soup and corn bread.
