During PNV week, dinner at the vintners home, really spectacular setting and great hosts!
Drank after the 2011 from a magnum. Classic Spring Mountain profile, nice dark fruits, toasted oak, blackberrry. cassis. Medium tannins, integrated and mellowing. Big wine, still young. Aging nicely, IMO this will add complexity with cellar time, would revisit in 2015+

Fruit bomb. Nice spice but spring MTN fruit was in your face, carried the day. Got better with an hour +. Going to let this one go dormant for a bit. See you in a few years.

This was good, not great. Cassis liqueur note was too strong, I thought, both on the nose and palate.

Nice and drinkable. No flaws. No sediment. Nice dark (red, blue, black) fruits. Low tannin. Low alcohol. SHort finish.
