Sunday, July 5, 2015 - 2nd bottle, a year after the 1st. Same score. This wine is such a conundrum (no pun intended). There's no doubt this is a jumbled unharmonious mis-mash of parts that equal less than their sum. I don't believe it will ever cohere, and it is by far the most manipulated feeling wine we've had. It's like they just kept tweaking it to the point where all varietal character & balance was lost, so they tweaked it some more trying to fix it.

So why score it 90? It's still not bad. It will never be great, and it's annoying that they had the grapes & vintage to produce a better wine than they did, but it's an enjoyable crowd pleaser for casual wine drinkers. Just don't put too much thought into it.
