A beautiful wine that is just at the very beginning of its drinking window. I gave this 4.5 hours of air and it continues to drink well throughout the night, becoming more interesting as time went by. There are still significant dusty tannins behind the dark red and black fruit; I suspect the best is yet to come. If I had other bottles, I’d check in on this again in 2-3 years.

2014 is kind of a forgotten vintage in Cali. On the heels of the epic 2012/2013 double and right in front of the fabulous 2015/2016 combo, it is easy for 2014 to get lost. This is a fabulous wine, entering its drinking window. Black and blue fruits, somewhat reticent on the nose. Find your favorite cheeseburger and have at it!

Beautifully rich with lots of smoky cassis and dark cherry. Very nice but just a bit hot on entry.

Plenty of time left on this, but definitely in early drinking window. Drank with Christmas dinner.
