Exceptional Cali-style Super Tuscan. Dark maroon color. Nose is black fruit, cedar, pencil shavings, and balsamic. It has a dusty quality more than fruity. It’s very bold — high in alcohol, tannin, but balanced with nice acidity. The palate is mostly black and bright red fruit with some oak. The finish is pleasant. It’s drinking well now with some air at 55-60 F, but you could hold it due to the high tannin and acidity and it might continue to develop a bit.

This was a good example of everything we like about J Dusi wines. A lush well rounded red blend with Cab Sauvigon dominating. Beautiful nose and taste

A bit harsh on open, then settled down. Mostly darker fruit and a bit of pepper. 2nd day was improved.
