87 Points

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 - Bright on the nose, no real notice of smoke or campfire in this bottle on the nose and even the mid-palate but do get a slight hint of smoke on the finish particularly after a minute or so on the exhale. But not to the point that it is really affecting me enjoying the wine, I think decanting helped. Still a solid $35 bottle of wine. My came home later that evening after work and asked her to try the wine and tell me what she smelled and taster, she had no previous knowledge of the fires nor did she hear about it or had any idea what took place in Anderson Valley in 2008, the first thing out of her mouth was she tasted smoke. No hesitation and it wasn't a completely negative comment, still liked the wine but did notice smoke and ash.
