  drinking beautifully with power and nuance. I wish I had more than the three remaining bottles of this stuff. Truly sublime. I am glad that I waited long enough to fully enjoy this wine's potential.

  Another one of our project wines, and the last of our 2011's. Probably some bottle variation going on as our past reviews indicated we had better bottles than tonight. This bottle was smooth drinking, but singular in it's flavor and a bit jammy. The fruit forwardness of this wine did pair incredibly well with our Anita's homemade pesto and toasted pine nuts topped on a quinoa grain bowl.

  This showed good typicity and a nice smooth mouthfeel. Still plenty of fruit as well, so it’s got some years left.

  We believe this is our best project wine to date. While it lacks some overall depth, it has a great attack, a plesant mid-palate and a nice finish. It has balance, nicely integrated and easy drinking. This is what we we hoping for when doing this wine project - bravo!
