Light strawberry red. Fragrant nose of red cherry, strawberry, summer flowers, and Mediterranean herbs. Light to medium-bodied red-fruited palate with refreshing acidity. Wonderful pairing with turkey dinner. A small pouring left in the bottle still drank well 2 days later.

Prior bottle was almost 15 months ago and this wine remains in a good spot. Red cherry, earth, spices and minerals on the nose. Between medium and full bodied with red cherry upfront, deepening to darker red cherry through the middle with a touch of black cherry and plum behind. Tart red cherry and strawberry on the backside and finishes with tannins, acidity and minerals. The fruit notes are a touch more expressive than my prior bottle, but the biggest change was on the backside. The tannins, acidity and other structural qualities are in better balance with the fruit so the finishing transition is more harmonious. Should continue to show incremental improvements along these lines and I'll plan to open my next bottle in Summer 2024.

Still a very good wine. The color has faded to Amber, and the fruit is now a dried character, but the acid and length is still there. Some tannin is also present. I think this will be best over the next five years.

This wine was disappointing. It was on the downward slope with a little fruit left and a little leaf left but it wasn’t where it should be… Drink up.
