Nose: strawbery jam, blackberry, little pepper, meat, and tobacco. Super fruit forward. Little one dimensional. Enjoyable though. Palate: not as primary as the nose. Phenomenal balance. Fruity up front with light red fruit, lots of secondary. Light menthol, cigar, sage, herbal.
This was really nice after a 2-3 hour decant. Can’t believe it needed that much time to develop after nearly 10 years. It had a good amount of sediment.

This has improved so much. Super dark color, almost black. Big dark fruit on the nose and palate. Rivals some of the top Paso Robles syrahs, which have always been our favorites.

Big wine from a serious Napa producer. Not so spicy more of the jam. Give it another 10 years maybe to develop complexity. It has life in it.

Improving with age. Still plenty of dark fruit. Easily a few years left.
