A Diverse Set of Wines in Honor of a Visiting Friend (Los Olivos, CA): Generously shared by a guest and served blind, without a decant. I was fascinated by its complexity and depth of flavors, mainly blue and black fruit, some leather and bay leaf notes, thinking perhaps it was a Bordeaux blend from a great 1980's era vintage. I must confess never to having heard of this wine. My friend has worked through several cases of the 1970 and 1971 and swears that every bottle has shown at this level. An impressive bring and a great way to slip a Cali bottle into our tasting.

THIS WAS SURPRISINGLY FRUITY, BLAKBERRIES, CURRENTS, AND LEATHER IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.
