  Fine example of CA can from Geyservillr. Bold fruit, well balanced and smooth.

  I can't agree that this wine is soft. There is a solid acid structure. It has good concentration but without the cloying aspect of so many mass market wines. This gives it some character. Good typicity and a decent finish. Seems like a wise choice for a large event or backyard barbecue.

  Cellared for 3 years. PnP - served cool around 65 degrees. The nose is beautiful - leather and black/blue fruit in perfect ripeness, vanilla, and just the right amount of forest floor and wood. But on the palette it does feel heavy weighty and the oak is way overdone. There is a long finish with a bitter aftertaste that hints at artificially Oakiness. It’s drinkable and the nose is lovely but overall, I would not buy this again but wouldn’t turn it away at a dinner party. It has tannins so would be nice with some burgers or such but it does fight with the flavors and coats your tongue . Not subtle for sure
