Blackberry, plum, cherry, smoke and some wood (barn wood) on the nose. Inky purple in the glass. Silky smooth, very enjoyable. Didn't decant, but a few minutes of air in the glass helped. A decant wouldn't be a bad idea. Grapes from Bien Nacido vineyard in Santa Maria Valley. Clos Solene is producing some awesome wines.

As others have noted this is a beauty of a N Rhone look-a-like. Meaty, bacon fat and some gameyness.
