  Wow, breathe for 1.5hr, the nose is extremely good quality of red fruits, ripe strawberry, fresh raspberry, cranberry, cherry, hint of vanilla, oak, cinnamon. Palate is also red fruits driven in elegant means, with exact amount acidity, tannin and structure, finish is medium with a little spicy finish. It is definitely not a fruit bomb, and perfectly match with spare ribs and baked potatos in the New Year Eve. Drink it now and maybe can keep 3 more years.

  Red fruit dominant. Finish is medium. Tannins still evident. I would give this another year to see if it develops further.

  Honeymoon Wine Tasting; 6/25/2012-7/3/2012 (California - Napa & Sonoma Counties): Tasted at Winery. Dark purple in color, with jammy/berry aromas. The flavors were mainly juicy fruit, backed with lots of tannin. The finish was of mix of bold fruit and harsh tannins. Hopefully this will resolve in a year or two.

  My only 2 bottles opened. Lovely intense aroma. Deep purple color. Young and vibrant and well balanced, going perfectly with rack of lamb. Wish I had more.
