Wow. This is maturing very nicely. Fragrant nose of strawberries and cherries with a little vanilla. The palate was filled with red fruits in a silky wine. Very balanced and ample acidity to keep you coming back for more. Sweetness in earlier bottles seems to have mellowed.

In the middle zone for CA PN - not too BIG, not too sweet and not too thin (like a burg can be). So I will call it a Goldilocks wine. As when to drink - now.

On opening, this wine was simple, sweet, strawberry and candied. With air, the cola came out and the fruits darkened with the overt sweetness fading nicely.
