It is interesting to read through the CT Tasting notes on this wine. It seems as though it was pretty rough in its early years. Not the case tonight! It was wonderfully smooth and balanced. It would seem that this wine [this one was a 1.5L] is hitting its stride. Very enjoyable! Paired with fabulous grilled ribeye.

Decanted 2-3 hours glass held over till next day. Tannic with Rich oak flavor, needs to soften a bit for more fruit. Held up well to grill ribeye. Paired with 2005 Realm from same vineyard which was much softer due to blend, I assume.

Lovely, well-balanced, but also with some loss of fruit. Very enjoyable, but overshadowed by the To Kalon version - had at the same time.

Decanted about 30 min. Had a little bit of steminess, unusual for a California wine I thought. Maybe should have aired out longer.

Seams like it saw some heat. Same with a previous bottle
