Smooth blend, balanced with decent complexity. Stewed plums, dark cherry notes with moderate spice. Sharp from the bottle, smoothed out nicely over time in the glass.

Bright red, balance taste with slight flash. Long slightly sweet finish.
14.5% ABV and composed of 47% Merlot, 35% Malbec, 10% Petite Sirah and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aging was 60%, in new French Oak for 26 months.Grapes for the blend were sourced from Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, San Antonio Valley and Paso Robles.

Many fine qualities, although I believe this would be better if it was laid down for another year or so. Bigger than what I thought, based on previous notes. Stood up to a ribeye steak no problem. Has greater potential to an 89. Glad I got 2 more bottles!

A weird blend, but needs air. Much better day 2.
