Nice wine. The nose seemed very rhone-ish with candied red fruits. Taste was more complex than the nose with sweet red fruits, some mature notes, and long finish. Drink now or wait up to 8 yrs. Low acid, good tannic structure, very viscous, heavy bodied.

Superb Right bank blend from of all places Santa Barbara, CA. Really nice classic bordeaux nose of cedar and black fruits. Taste has a great black fruits, good structure (oak needs a bit more time to fully integrate), great acidity and fine tannins. Should be ok for 5-10 more years.
