A solid effort from a solid winery. This is a wine to enjoy on "daily" occasion (versus a special occasion/event). Very nice balance of acidity, tannins, dark fruit and body. While this is a product of the vaunted 2007 harvest, this wine will not get better with any additional age. Drink soon. The wine looks inky colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle.
