This bottle opens with a brett and funk that lures you into thinking it’s supposed be like this. But wait it out. Four hours later, this transforms into a beautiful wine, silky smooth, cherries, and a nice finish. Loved it. Will buy more if I can find it.

This was a fantastic and surprisingly delicious wine. Needed about 3hrs to fully open and when it did it was a smooth and well rounded wine that worked with food and without. Buy it if you can find it.

I suggest that you consider trying: Peju, Baldacci, Bacio Divino, Miner Family Oracle and Chardonnays, Mt. Veeder, and Duckhorn which you can find at Winebid.com and buy a single bottle at the weekly auction where I buy for the last 15 years.
