A thrilling argument for screw cap. Ripe zin fruit with touch of spice on the nose, palate full bodied with richness that comes across a touch sweet (but it's just big fruit). Full flavored medium minus finish. An amazing bottle, if not top tier complexity, yields a perfect drink for solid rustic or full flavored dishes. Steak au poivre or Diane, tomato pastas of all kinds, the best pizzas. Perfect drinking now.

Still a purple tinge. Touch of briar but thrilling fruit backed by plummy zin and spice nuances. Solid an delicious. Drink.

Always thought these would need 10 years. Beautiful deep red color, nose of ripe red and black cherries with a bit of pinot funk and briar...like an aged burg but CA fruit. Lithe on the palate, concentrated but not overpowering red berry and cherry flavors again tempered by aged pinot, delicious mouthful with a tang at the end and medium finish. A sophisticated drink.
