Pleasant and well balanced, but not as enjoyable as last time and a bit austere. Based upon past experience with this wine I suspect it's simply a rough patch in the development. will try again in another 6 months.

Light garnet color, nose of strawberry gummy bear with a whiff of white pepper; blueberries, strawberries, sour black cherry taste. Medium tannins, long pleasant aftertaste.

While always a perennial pleaser, this vintage seems very well balanced and surprisingly stood up against the flight of their bigger wines. This might be foretelling what 2017 will be like in their other wines. Had at the end of the line up after mouvedre, Boushey syrah, and Cuvee Elena.
