This is a very nice wine. A little cigar box and sweet fruit on the nose. Medium body, medium fruit on the palate. Some mineral and a little acid. Mostly black fruit and perhaps a little cocoa or chocolate as the other reviewers noted. Nice long, pleasant taste. We like the aspect of the fruit from old vines in Contra Costa County.

A not so blowsy blue fruit aromatic Expression. Yes, more baked fruit, but not particularly fruit bombish. A riper herbaceousness, this is a new encounter. On the palate, very dried herb. Intriguing profile, but for a more modern and new world drinker.

Very soft and smooth, with a distinct blackberry-ish quality on the pallete.

Wow, superb.. This wine has so much character and fruit you can almost trace it back to the 1890's.
