I saw someone gave this a reviewless 98, which put it at the top of my list, and made me put my eyes towards it. Upon further review, I think it was someone giving the Jeb Dunnuck score, as night one was really tight, not showing a ton on the nose, and I thought we may have a bit of a dud, at least relative to the score in front of my eyes.
The good news is that night 2 is a star, so I'm guessing a patient person really is going to want 2027 or 2028 for this to show from the gate as a pop and air. One of the better mouvedre designated that I've had. I would still put Andremily over it, and put it neck and neck with Epoch, but it really is a great example.
Great wine. I'd hold for another 3-5 years, noting it has an easy 10 after that to be in its primary window.

2007 Switchback Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Peterson Family Vineyard

Solid cork line, stored well, but literally something off. Total VA nose. What a shame. Smelled like a port, total disjointed.
