May 21, 2016 - Decanted and poured. Delicious right away but blossomed after 30 minutes. Bright single-vineyard expressions with notes of blueberry, violet, caramel, and toast compensated for lack of complexity. Long finish of berries, caramel, and powdered sugar. Restrained and not over-oaked with just a bit of a sting of the 14.6% alcohol.
