Dark crystal clear garnet with no brick at all. Understated nose-subtle toasty notes, with luscious ripe bramble briar berries. Soft tannins, leather red and black. raspberry Delicious wine. Glad I waited to open. Serving with rotisserie chicken cooked on Weber, creamed spinach and simple salad.

Red and blue fruits with good balance, light spice, and a lengthy finish. Quite nice.

Smooth right out of the bottle. Nothing too special, just good.

Better than its “expensive restaurant wine” reputation may lead you to believe.

2nd day review(my wife opened it a little too early last night without me 😪). A mystifying dark garnet color. On the nose: dark cherry, strawberry, wet leaves, floral, little caramel, and very slight menthol. Taste: raspberry, dark cherry, minerals, tea ...nice med plus acidity, a smokey/plum finish, velvety smooth and drinking well for this young wine on the 2nd night!!!

More impressed by the southing earlier in the night, but this will grow and be a remarkable PN. Just needs more time.

Medium bodied. Lovely roses on the nose that expand darkly on the palate. A bit of forest undergrowth, whiff of (very attractive) funk. Drinking quite well considering it’s youth.
