Beautiful gold color. Nose is a wonderful funk (think cool climate Syrah) along with ripe fruit and a touch of pine sol, mouthfeel is fully mouthcoating and the finish is ripe pear and mango notes. Really fun wine!

Third bottle tasted beter. Fully mature nose, with ripe pear, honey, and baked apples on the nose. Medium bodied and crisp, with ripe pear, honey a touch of oak on the palate. Moderate length finish with decent complexity.

I expected this to be better, despite the age. Golden honey color and flavors, acidity seems to barely match the fruit, has that "old wine" almost madeirized feel to it-- and this was consistent across two bottles that appear to have good storage. Ah well.

Insanity at Pisoni Memorial Day Weekend!!! (Santa Lucia Highlands): Golden honey color this was amazingly still crisp with ripe fruit flavors including some creamy white pear and crisp iceberg lettece. A streak of alcohol and a buttery finish with nice minerality.
