Black cherry, hazelnuts, herbs, spice, oak. Rich and intense fruit. The alcohol kind of takes this wine out of balance. Nice finish. I like it but it'll probably be better with a little more time. Score 91-92.

Really nice stuff. Alcohol in the high 14% range but it leverages this to delivery elegant pure flavors. A bargain just north of $40 compared to the Pisoni estate bottling I've seen for over $100 retail. A noticeable step up from the Capiaux Sonoma Coast "Chimera" bottling. 92+

Red cherry and strawberry. Nice acidity to it and good finish.
