This bottle blew Oak and VA for the first hour after it was decanted. So much so that it made me research the oak treatment. The fruit started to emerge after. Deep red fruit and black cherry. I wouldn't buy this wine again at $35.99 again. I have 1 more bottle that I will save for a really long time...and hopefully the wine at some point will integrate.

This wine was so tight. Decanted, poured 2 hours later. Set aside for an 07 Ridge Monte Bello. Came back and it hadn't loosened a bit. 2017, 2022 & 2027 are more likely drinking dates.
