Great wine. Had more body and texture than a typical Virginia red, even for Petit Verdot. Didn't come across at a 10 year old wine particularly. Still a lot of fruit without a lot of secondaries but still complex. Some earth. Would have guessed California, maybe Sonoma or North Coast cab if I had tasted blind. Could go another 5-10 years.
