Vinturied into decant, Young and gripping at this point, muted fruit, short finish . Cellaring should help, lots of other wine out there at this price point much more approachable. Drink from 2024-27

Wonderful aromas of dark cherries, pencil shavings and vanilla on the nose invites you to taste. There are occasional hints of herbs and mint. The mouthfeel is lush, grippy and velvety. The fruit isn't center stage: instead, the palate is presented with a harmony of various tastes where some of the secondary and tertiary aromas are translated. Medium finish, but not very lengthy. *Yountville AVA. Has 15% merlot. Significant air time required. Ultimately paired with filet mignon with caper-butter sauce and sautéed onions.

- Purple color with a medium/full body. Flabby texture - Decanted for an hour smooth, with medium finish. Enjoyable. Good QPR

Very nice: nose, taste, finish was a bit short. Drank with 2014 Kenneth Price Pulse, which was better
