This was my last bottle. Very different than my last bottle I tasted. Here there was good structure and decent fruit and other flavors (earthy?) in a very appealing wine. Almost like a young Hermitage - I've only had a half dozen of those and they were not top shelf.

Beautiful Sonoma red wine. Really drinking nice at the moment.. Current, dark fruit, raisin. Held up well against a big grass fed rib eye. Actually a bit impressed and glad a let it rest a little while. Looking forward to more.

One of the biggest "change" wine I have had in a while. Decanted for 1 1/2 hours in a triple decanting process, I was sure it would be open when drank. It was so closed down, with glycerin, and a bite to it that made it not too enjoyable. Over the next hour, the true beauty of the wine came out. Menthol, dark fruit and leather were all present. The 91 represents the last glass.

Jammy blackberry and pepper, some notes of leather, very smooth and consistent across the finish. Nice, but not particularly complex.

Kept this bottle too long. Fruit is diminishing and the alcohol is hot.
