noticeably better than last time I had this vintage: more polish, oozing personality, enticing earthiness & terroir driven flavors. balanced, such tannic grip - just fantastic — 8 days ago

ruby, semi-opaque, unfurls easily w/wild strawberry & rhubarb, deeply ripe red feral fruited, spicy, vegetal, herbaceous, tomato plant - the palate has that juicy acidity running through it, med(-) body, tangy but still that wild red fruit on mid palate mingled w/earthy flavors leading to modest finish. — 14 days ago

last bottle of this gem: last tasted July 2021 - may be at its zenith. Still retaining its flavor profile but a real high toned fruit expression came out this time. it also surprised us retaining its impressive, regal structure — 8 days ago

entry level wine, nothing to get excited about - needed something for chicken tacos and this was the only thing chilled. Better Day 2. Golden colored, this had some waxy lanolin musky notes, bright mineral & acidity, citrus, fattened up lil roly poly — 11 days ago

For $14 are you kidding me?! NC Yadkin Valley fruit, actually BDX blend heavy on CF and it was delicious. New World nose but if you peek under the hood there is some Loire. absolutely delicious with or without food as tannins are relatively tamed. Easy drinking & well made — 8 days ago

Blind I would have guessed lower rung classified growth BDX, this was impressive, though young, it is good to go - well balanced and flavorful. Mellow integrated tannic structure great length on finish — 14 days ago
