I really enjoyed this wine. I opened this on Friday night as a backup bottle, giving it some air. I ended up vacuuming it and drinking it evenly over Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. On Sunday, I got a bunch of cigar, tobacco, menthol. It really found its stride on Monday and Tuesday. A deft touch of classic Sonoma/Napa Melka - but I felt this wine was not out of place in right bank Bordeaux, which its 80% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc is clearly trying to replicate. Very well done, and I will seek out more of this.
