  Day 1: Let me talk to you! This is much better than the 19 experience. While maybe not at its peak this is a in great place. Blueberries, mild spice, mild oak, cherry, dried flowers, baking chocolate and minerals. Super complex wine and long finish. Love it. 94 points
  Day 2: Still showing strong but maybe a touch not as good so drink this up. Tobacco, blueberries, spices, minerals, oak and dark chocolate. Medium plus finish. 92 points
  Recommendation: Pop, pour and consume now.

  Hard for me to get the age right with this wine but this one was in a great place. Vibrant, red fruit, earthy tobacco and coffee on the palate. Grippy tannins but a roundness typical of Sonoma wines. Medium to full bodied. Drank side by side with a 2007 and this 2014 really shined.

  Mostly plum with notes of menthol. Acidity and body are medium-plus. Tannins are medium/medium-plus. This is a very terroir driven wine. Not as fruity as Napa.

  This was a great wine - it was youthful and mature at the same time. Loads of favors - berries, tobacco leaf, wood. Smooth drinking start to end.
