March 30, 2022 - Wine held up very well. 6 years past drink by age. Some anise, good fruit, decent tannins. We’ll drink it slow and should open up.

Perfectly balanced, lively and fruit-forward but not candied or extreme, with enough freshness to make it a classic. California wine made well. Decadent would be the word. Ain't that America?

January 3, 2020 - Black cherries, blackberries, and currants in the nose and flavor along with licorice and hints of chocolate. Full bodied and a long finish.

May 4, 2017 - Really wanted to like this more than I did, although still a pretty good wine. Nice up front creamy texture to it with dried cherry, black currant, and plum fruit. Good core of cocoa and earth an interesting 'dustiness' to it. Has a mix of mineral and sage flavors and ends up with some dry tannins on the end. Good wine, not great.

September 3, 2016 - Probably waited too long to drink this. Color is a gorgeous deep indigo, suggesting few, if any age issues. Nose has an astringent alcohol aroma. On the palate this has lots of earthy, mineral notes but very limited fruit and a hint of caramelization on the finish. Would have expected this to last longer. It did improve after an hour so will see what this is like tomorrow.
