Nice with a few years of age. The 14.5% does come through a bit more than I was hoping, though perhaps that also gives it the depth of body that I enjoy. Flowers, minerals, some bitterness, good acid. — 5 months ago

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Syrah (20%). Walla Walla (Rocks District) fruit. Dark purple color with a ruby rim. Lovely aromas of dried cherries, black plums, Earl Grey tea, iron, cardamom and black pepper. Same fruits on the pallet along with hints of black currant, black olives and that ever present touch of black pepper. Just a hint of mint on the finish. The Syrah really shines through on this one. Mouth drying (but smooth) tannins. Soft texture with a nice balance of acidity and alcohol. Aging beautifully! Revisited in March 2023. Still outstanding! Revisited again in October 2025. Savory notes are more prevalent (fruit more in the background) but still quite good. — 3 years ago

Just awesome. Big and tannic but so elegant. More formal notes later. A beast. Needed a day and now it’s so juicy and full of red and black fruits. A beast but a sexy one. — 6 months ago

Had the 2023 in May of 2025. Really enjoyed this one. Hints of nectarine and peach. Also had hints of almond and honey. Malvasia Puntinata was a new grape for me and I loved this one. Hints of minerality danced throughout. Was a WSJ wine that I plan to buy more of. Especially for the summer in the deck. — a year ago
