I personally know Val. I think how he goes about building a winery is very admirable and how I subscribe to doing things. This wine is like one of my children. I do not have many of them. It’s Incredible. It has easily another 5 years. Intense bouquet. The tannins a kneaded into the wine wine. They are there. Soft, but there. Alcohol is present. Some warmness exists, but not hot. The wine has some fruit forward expressions, slight spiciest with an extended finish. Smooth and dry. Highly recommend.

Really lovely fruit, soft tannins, some lift from acid, not a ton of additional complexity, but very enjoyable with steak. Best after breathing for a few hours. Good value at the current auction price (~50.00).

Decanted and started tasting within an hour. Better after 2. Brilliant fruit and elegant complexity. Enjoy!
