Nose was red fruit, spice, and floral notes. The mouth was strawberry and cherry with earth undertones. Medium tannins and acidity, with nice balance with a long finish and everything integrated nicely. I'm a fan of Sta. Rita Hills and this wine delivers terroir.

The wine's initial nose was tar and orange peel but with air-added perfumed red fruit. It took three hours to open up and bring the fruit out. The mouth is red fruit, plum , and tertiary notes and good minerality. Length was medium, tannins and acidity are medium/medium + The wine paired well with pasta and fresh crushed tomatoes.

As previous TN this is a beautiful wine that is still vibrant almost suprisily so. The nose is perfumed with rose and floral notes, with red fruit, strawberry, and cherry standing out. The mouth is red fruit, pomegranate, and earthy minerals. Tannins are smooth with a nice medium to long finish.

This wine is its drinking window and has a couple of years based on this tasting.
