Pale, complex rose with aromas of flowers, strawberry and raspberry preserves, watermelon, and peach gummy backed by white chocolate with the cocoa butter continuing onto the palate. Also a bit of herbal funk. Drinking wonderfully right now. — 6 days ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2019 “Isosceles” pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of dark brambles, crème de cassis, tobacco, Fresno chilis, Mexican chocolate, dry earth and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This is a big, powerful wine but it’s fairly balanced. I would drink now though it probably wouldn’t struggle to see past 2029. — 19 days ago
Sweet fruit, then tannins, then smokey oak. Not complex, not a lingering finish, but good everyday wine. — 20 hours ago

Deep dark and concentrated color. Perfect balance of rich fruit and oak on the nose. High tannin. Leather, cacao. Medium length and very oaky finish. This is a very robust wine. Enjoying with a buttery ribeye. — 10 days ago
