Marvelous Bordeaux blend. Beautiful black fruit flavors and perfectly integrated tannins. Earthy, mineral complexity. 30 min decant - drinking perfectly. Still has years of life ahead. Brilliant California wine that will rival it's French counterparts.

Decanted for 4 hours. Continued to evolve and open up for another 4. Magnificent mouth feel. Lively acidity with wonderfully integrated tannins. Black fruit, cedar and forest floor. Superb. Will continue to improve and mature for decades.

Lovely acidity with well-integrated soft tannins. Hints of blueberry, dark cherry and rose. Drinking nicely. Excellent with pasta or a a southern Italian meat dish.
