First, the wine is good and I like it. The tannins are fully mature and soft, but still plenty of structure. Very fruit forward, but almost no sweetness like you find in many Cali wines. It drinks a bit like BDX in a very ripe vintage that is fully extracted, but without the secondary notes you get with BDX. Perhaps a bit too much.

Good stuff. All 3 ways good. Nose, fruit, finish. Just not great like I was expecting. Can't wait to try another bottle.

Had it with a tomahawk steak on Father’s Day. Great wine, not your typical Cali…
