NOTES FROM JUSTIN:
Damn this wine is good. Do I need to say more? It’s doing its job.

"One of the more structured, inward 2022s from Smith and a wine that's going to benefit from short-term cellaring, … It takes some coaxing but slowly gives up wonderfully pure red and black fruits interwoven with classic peppery herbs, violets,
savory spice, and floral nuances. Beautifully textured and medium to full-bodied, with just about perfect tannins, it needs to be hidden for 3-4 years but is one hell of an impressive wine." Jeb Dunnuck 97
