Bright ruby color and satiny mouth feel. Plenty of red berries and cherry fruit. At that point the acidity kicked in and became dominant. Fortunately I’d opened it early, so decanted it for an hour. That clearly softened the finish, but didn’t really expose a lot of secondary notes. More of a summer wine than I’ve come to expect out of these mature RRV vineyards.

A burst of bright sweet red strawberries on the first sip. Nice round mouthfeel. Tannins almost entirely in the background. Good freshness without prominent acidity. Lacks a bit of mid-palate stuffing. Very enjoyable summer red.

Very nice. Fully mature and should be good for a few more years.

Hitting its stride. Don’t think this would have improved much more. Paired with the thanksgiving feast - delicious.
