  East drinking like others have said — red and black fruit, some black-Olivey salinity, and warm stones on the nose. The palate is jammy with lots of red and black fruit, with no hard edges — there is enough acidity to keep it relatively in balance. Solid, but definitely does not feature any sort of specificity in either place or vintage. Kind of reminds me of a better version of a lot of other red blends.

  Drinking beautifully right now. Might even have a year or two left in it. Nice deep ruby color, with complex red and black fruit and some cocoa on the nose. On the pallet, acid is still there but starting to fade, the black fruit and red fruit are showing signs of development and even some stewiness on the backend. Perhaps even a bit of pepper on the finish. Nice Medium plus finish. And well worth opening now. I know I said it could go another year two but really don’t know that it will get a lot better at this point. Drink ‘em up if you got them.

  Well balanced, nice soft tannins, frankly got more merlot than cab. Just a nice bottle, drinking right in its zone.
