Rich and opulent; classic California styling. Lots of sweet tropical and ripe orchard fruits with dominating buttery oak, vanilla, and spice. Definitely “fat” with acidity completely buried by the ripe fruits. Weak finish. Disappointing given the pedigree. Drink now, unlikely to improve with further cellaring.

Big soft cali chard. Blind this really comes off rather flabby today. Still tasty, just gets quite diffuse in the glass with a bit of heat in the finish

Punching well above its weight class. This drinks like a wine 2x its price point. Excellent.
