duckhorn (at the estate): Very fine nose, black currants, pipe tobacco, pencil shavings and some vanilla. Texture wise this lands in a good spot on the palate, but the finish has some drying tannins that detracts. Extracted, but the fruit can handle it. Not a bad effort.

Tasted at Duckhorn Vineyards with Kathy today. Nose shows a touch of heat and dark fruit, more of the same on the palate, rich tasting, pleasant, medium body, and medium finish.

Was tight for about an hour, then opened up nicely. Floral aromatics with bold oak and black cherry flavors.

Dark berry, vanilla, hints of cedar, some heat, palate is lush, fruit forward with some spice tone, finishes a touch light with a slight heat spike
