Allen Meadows, August 2023 (Vintage 2022)

Fresh aromas of essence of pear, pear and lemon rind are trimmed in just enough wood to mention. There is both good energy and delineation to the solidly voluminous middleweight flavors that conclude in an agreeably dry and clean finish that is reasonably long if not especially complex. To enjoy young.

Julia Harding, January 2024 (Vintage 2022)

Lightish crimson. Sour-cherry freshness on the nose, cranberry tang and a touch peppery. Chewy yet smooth tannins. Respectable, balanced if not charming
