Perhaps waiting until 2012 to drink this bottle was a mistake. This bottle showed heavy spicy dried fruit in the nose, but on the palette the fruit is very dull, even the color was faded. I find more and more, American reds do not age with grace.

Bought this with hope that it would be aged, and drink well. It lost all the good qualities of a big red. Color was bricky, nose flat, no legs, just plain old disappointing.
