First time drinking this wine. This was recommended to me at a wine bar by the owner. I had this decanted an hour before my arrival and drank over another hour. This was a medium body wine, tasting of cherry, plum, sage and other milder herbal notes.
Coming from Calistoga, I was expecting a little more oomph from this wine. I paid $135 for this (although that is a bit above market) and it was outperformed by a $90 bottle of Arkenstone NVD of the same vintage. I didn't note any changes in this wine over the hour I drank it. Probably not something I would revisit.
