Pop and pour. Very aromatic nose (spring flowers & spice). Not over done with ripeness. More of an old school Cali style that I appreciate.

My first time with this particular cuvee. Drank over a two night period. I've had some very tasty wines from this producer but this seemed one dimensional and a bit over extracted. Even though I knew what I was drinking, I struggled to find much nuance or sense of place.

Really impressive longevity for this style of wine and price point. Has evolved beautifully although still pretty heavy on the wood. Pleasant surprise and glad I have a couple more that I won't wait too long to enjoy with grilled ribeye.

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more

Lots of sediment; very mature color; cigar box cedar nose. Silky mid-weight palate. Still good but time to drink up.
Addendum to 11/25/2023 note. This wine was really strong on night two. Great concentration, long finish. Still in prime drinking window.

Decanted into wide base decanter for four hours. Not ready to drink on first night. Left in decanter over night. Much better 24 hours later.

Red Bordeaux Blend more

10/26/2023 - djs Likes this wine: 92 points

Deep ruby color. Plum, black cherry, cigar box on the nose. Medium body, decent length finish. Held very strong on night two. Probably added a point for being a killer QPR at $17 but would be just as enjoyable at twice the price. VG
