At PNP this 2012 LSR offers plush freshness with a touch of sweet and savory bramble fruit jam. Some forest floor and minerality on the nose. Plenty of acidity to continue to lay down and develop. My experience with this the producer has not justified the spend. I haven't had the most current release which have received more favorable reviews but pricing is up there even for Napa standards.
PNP-Definitely has improved since last bottle. Tons of sediment so be careful when pouring. Drinking window has started and will last several more years.

Closed with very little change over a 4 hour period. Even saved some for the next day with no real development. Hopefully something special is in the bottle that can only be shown with time. If not, I wouldn't spend the money for this 2nd label. At least not the 2012

Poured from properly cellared bottle into glasses and allowed to sit for an hour prior to tasting. Soft blue fruit aromatics with hint of perfumed flowers. Mid palate shows off well judged sharp acidity ending with well matched tannins. Finish brings a hint of secondary flavor, but maintains blue fruit characteristics. Finish is 10-15 seconds. Score would be higher, but is often the case with second labels, depth lacking a bit with fruit that didn't make the cut into the 2012 Vineyardist. Quality winemaking evident, but price a bit high for this second label compared to other wines playing in this market price. Enjoyable.

The temptation to tick the "bottle was flawed box" was tempting.
This wine should not be left 10-12 years it should be drunk on a daily basis.
I would expect this to be sold out in days.
Very smooth, - plush and totally satisfying - loved it.

Good fruit forward, black cherry and chocolate notes. Mild tannins with a good finish.
