Had to open a bottle the day my allocation arrived... Just a spectacular pairing with grilled salmon. Normally my tastes run to aged red burgundy but this bottle was outstanding -- rich, vibrant color with complex aromatics (especially after letting the wine breathe for an hour). The balance and integration of tastes were remarkable for such a young wine -- clearly a big wine with plenty of fruit but elegant at the same time -- nuanced notes of smoked meat and hints of rhubarb. Finish lasted forever.

Absolute winner at Press in Napa. Lots of fruit, great balance, superb finish. The burgundy drinkers loved this wine!
