Really enjoyed this wine tonight at the Whaling Station in Monterey. Super velvety, lush, dark, well balanced, yummy ripe plums and black cherries with strong tannins holding it all together. Not super complex for sure, but nonetheless it didn't disappoint. A nice effort from Louis Martini with this 13 year old Lot 1.

Beautifully done. Ripe full bodied with black cherry and blackberry. Lacks finesse but makes up for it with fruit. Still some tannins but very enjoyable now.

Blackberry, cassis, plum earthy licorice, herby menthol on nose Palate is berries, plum sauce, hint of charcoal. Full bodied but approachable. Long finish of roasted plums
