A pleasant surprise, not knowing what to expect when I grabbed a bottle to complete a mixed case for a store discount. Medium to Full bodied. Fruit forward with black currents, plum, red-fruits and vanilla. PNP with excellent QPR. Vinnut's notes on this are spot on.

PNP. Opaque ruby in the glass. Nose is black currant with tobacco and vanilla. Medium acidity and body, soft velvety tannins. Finish of black currants. At $27 best QPR in Napa.

Decanted, let sit for 30 minutes. Dark plums, blackberry, and black currant nose with a touch of oak when tasting. Medium to full body, balanced finish with a touch more black currant.

After 1 hr opening, still unbalanced with sour/unripe fruits leading. After another hour, flavors are balancing and wine develops and gets smoother. Third hour: we finished it. Enjoyable but I wouldn’t spend $40 on this again.

At $30, the hype is real. No reason to decant. Just pnp. Soft tannins, currant. Nice smooth finish.
