  PnP at a dinner party. No detailed notes. Smooth. Rich. Great flavor. Got rave reviews.

  I've opened too many older VC's lately that have been sweet gloopy messes, with insufficient delineation, lack of acidity and insipid flavors. But not this one -- sure, it was big-fruited, but with no suggestion of excess R/S, ample acidity, and mostly savoury and herbal aromas and flavors. I don't know whether the lesson is that VC wines should be drunk younger, or that the viticultural practices and winemaking improved substantially right as I was dropping off the mailing list. In any case, this particular bottle of this particular wine was a very pleasant surprise.

  I did not know what to expect but this wine was on point. Really fresh tasting with black raspberry fruit, woodsmoke, chewy herbs and lavender and a lifted mouthfeel with tannic finish. Aromatics are very bright and the wine has great energy. Really worked well with pollo asado.

  Ripe and fruit-forward, but with air this mellowed and showed more tannins.
  Well balanced, smooth tannins, luscious flavors.
  Paired very well with homemade sausage pizza.

  A bit simple, but nicely balanced. Still fruit forward, with enough acid and tannin to keep it lively, and allow further aging. Enough underlying hints to possibly turn into something special in a few years.
