Popped the 375 on Caltrain on the way to the Giants/Reds game for Arts b-day. Too much fun but it was a rush hour frickin trainride. Still good out of the bottle like a good juice box should be.

2 weeks ago I loved this wine. Now it tastes old and almost flawed. Travel shock? I'll wait a month to try the other bottles.

The last of my 09s. Very nice. They've offered to replace my 2010s for less acidic/longer aged versions.

Seems to be some bottle variation. Loved it twice, hated it once.

Fruity in a nice light way. Hard to beat for half bottle 7 bones.

At least it wasn't fizzy like the last 2 I had. Pomegrante juice but not aging well

Still very young and may still have bottle/travel shock but tasty and will evolve into a better wine.

Strangly big and juicy. Overextracted but in a good way. I was expecting earthy like a cdp but way over the top.
