So juicy! And the balance is better than the last couple of vintages as far as I can remember (unless it's just bottle variation). In any case, there's some good funk here, and the fruit is super vivid.

Excellent value here. some mild band-aid and volatility on the nose, mixed with plenty of primary fruit, coffee and herbs. Beautiful balance on the palate: light- to medium-bodied, balanced acidity, no discernible tannins. Unassuming, exuberant, lots of red fruit on the midpalate, with a good length. Wonderful foil for something bold and umami-filled, like a good pizza or salumi.

Burst of fruit on the nose. Distinct cherry in the mouth. Excellent balance.

Blackberry, clove, subtle earthiness. Pretty with bright acidity and good balance. Juicy and thirst quenching.

Christmas Eve Dinner in Alamo (Alamo, CA): Strong horsey Brett that overruns the meager fruit.
