Still young to drink; a few years of aging will bring much reward as the structure of this wine is fantastic with gripping tannins. The nose shows raspberry and blackberry bramble pie with a hint of ash. The palate is treated to dark cherry, Darjeeling tea and licorice. Again, these tannins were made for aging, and so the patient shall be rewarded; my guess this can move up a couple of points in two years. JC does a really nice job and we have been very happy to have bumped into them along the Silverado Trail and now belong to their club... won’t see one of these darling bottles on the east coast!

Not giving away too much at this stage. Herbal accents like rosemary and earth shining through with dark fruits. Needs time to show its best. Wait another few years before opening.
