Just a pleasure to stick your nose in and get a nice complex nose of anise, spice and red Frits. Layered cocoa and raspberry flavors bode well for this wine’s evolution. Long beautiful cascading finish.

I'm aligned with bestdamcab's notes, big fruity structured merlot. Wonderful notes of berries, gravelly earth, blackberry, and faint anise. This one is built to age but can be consumed now with a couple of hours decant. The palate has fine-grained tannins, and good underlying acidity. Just a pleasure to drink

31st Family Winemakers of California Event (Jack London Square, Oakland, Ca.): Nose of black berry, black cherry, gravelly earth, floral notes, same on the palate, very tasty, rich fruit, big body, powerful wine, will peak in about 4 years, or a serious decant, and a lovely, long, long finish.
