A perfect example of the phrase - “we open wines too soon” // Still balanced showing light plum and cherry flavors with cedar, vanilla, oak and tobacco //

Decanted and waited 1 hour // Wine was out of balance and too acidic // After 2 1/2 hours, this bottle delivered at a much higher level than its counterpart that was opened about 4+ months ago // Light red berries with almond and citrus undertones // Finish was biscuit and honey like // The wine is reaching its end //

Sparkling California wine held for about 10 years // Chilled very cold to start // Very drinkable as it warmed up // Not too sweet // Apples at the start with spices // The finish was long and more spices came into play // Very different/very drinkable and a great value //
