A beautiful, robust, Cali Rhone style red. A bit of olive brine, saddle leather, and strawberry on the nose. Well rounded and dark berry fruited on the palate. A wonderful pairing with grilled ribeye caps tonight. A wine that really delivered tonight and is drinking in a good spot now.

We'd been looking forward to opening this bottle for a while now, and it did not disappoint! PnP and it drank beautifully out of the gate. Blackberry, Black Raspberry, Boysenberry, Black Cherry were prominent on the nose, as well as hints of vanilla, cedar, and black licorice. The palate was black and red fruits, namely Black Cherry with a soft undertone of chocolate covered espresso beans. Lower acidity and medium tannins, with a long silky finish. Kinda wish we had another bottle! 95+

Loved it, no sharp edges, beautiful fruit, lingering finish. It was worth the wait.

Overpowered by ribeye, but fantastic with lamb. Big rich mouthfeel, lots of fruit, tobacco, and some sweetness

Drinking great, immediate fruit on PnP... might smooth over next year, two, but no reason to wait.
