  Big, but not huge, red berries and fruit. Nose of leather and cocoa. Deep ruby color and firm body. Velvety tannins that don’t overpower and a subtle oak background. Decanted for an hour.

  Needs more time. Decanted for an hour. Big and bold, but needs more time in the bottle.

  Oh my, this is delicious. Perfume on the nose and initially on the palate. Great structure, long finish. Blackberries and cassis. Still plenty of tannin. Has at least another five years.

  So much going on with this blend, like a party in your mouth. Always love a cab/syrah blend, this one no exception, even with a good chunk of zin in there. Easily 5+ more years.

  V-Day at VGS: So rich, so ripe. The 2018 Potelle Two is 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Zinfandel, 16% Syrah, and 14% Merlot. It all adds up to a bit too much for me. Dark-fruited with notes of chocolate, baking spice, and leather, it will likely be best with a rich meal sometime in the next 5 years.
