With no decant the wine was just ok just after pouring but after an hour in the glass it was the best wine I have had in a couple of years. So smooth with structure and close to perfection. No need to pair it with food, it is awesome to just enjoy it on its own. It was still good on the second day. I have one more bottle and will wait until next year to open.

Beautiful fruit and texture. Softened quickly after opening so no decanting required at this point. Nice balance of Bordeaux grapes + Syrah. Excellent with filet mignon.

My last of this vintage. This is still a bit too young and will improve with another two or more years. One of my favorite wines from Sonoma, this is powerful with licorice and pencil lead.

Similar tastes as last bottle. Still going strong and smooth. Very nice.

Took a while to open up. I got blackberry flavor and a bit of cedar on the nose.
