  Lucia Restaurant - Bernardus - Carmel Valley (Monterey): This was a little more interesting and intense than the 2013 Bernardus SLH. Still extremely young, acidic, and primary, the Pisoni managed to push out some high-toned black cherry, strawberry, and forest floor notes. Mid-palate was a little less thin than the SLH, with a finish that wanted to push out of its youth. Holding a lot of flavors back still and in need of at least a year or two of cellaring. Hopefully the fruit will hold up while the acid attempts to right itself over the next couple of years.
  
  This served fine with the meal, as the acidic cut helped to knife through the richness of the venison with huckleberry.
  
  88-89+ points for now.
