Used to love these. It's such a great vineyard, and the varietal character used to shine through gloriously. Then they started showing very woody on release, and my local retailers dropped them. Many years later I see this bottle, so thought I'd check in. Dominated by new oak, which isn't the only reason the varietal character isn't showing well. Drinkable, but nowhere near what it could be. Lousy winemaking,
