Tuesday, June 26, 2018 - Winemaker note - this is a more open vintage that drinks well now. I find best as a pop'n'pour or give it a couple days of air. A mix of the exotic character of 2013 Alturas and the structure of the 2014. Paul

Are you producing these wines with the structure to lay down for that length of time or to be consumed within the first 5yrs optimally?
