November 2020 (Vintage 2016)

A very ripe and rich wine that is a little old-school with all the new oak, but there are plenty of fruity undertones. Full-bodied and chewy. Flavorful finish. Lots of oak, but fresh at the end. Drink now.

(Vintage 2018)

Lots of toasted-oak and plum character on both the nose and palate. It’s medium-bodied with a fine, linear finish. Fine, polished tannins. A little hollow in the center palate

Josh Raynolds, February 2021 (Vintage 2016)

Inky violet. Ripe dark berries, licorice, roasted coffee and a touch of smoked meat on the pungent nose. Broad and fleshy in style, offering spice-tinged black and blue fruit, espresso and bitter chocolate flavors that turn sweeter as the wine opens up. Finishes long and gently chewy, with slowly building tannins and repeating smokiness.
