  Red Burgundy that smells like some kind of California PN. Cedar, smoke, ripe raspberry, ripe strawberry and vanilla on nose. Medium + intensity of aromas. Definite influence of new French oak. The palate betrays its origins, adding forest floor, dirt, black pepper and fresh mushrooms. The oak from the nose is pushed to finish, where it bursts out. Medium intensity of flavors.
  
  Medium body with nice medium + acid that also makes me think of France. The noticable alcohol takes me back to California. I agree with the other reviewer who says to hold this and see if the oak integrates. I hope it does, especially on the nose. Because at this point, I'd be upset if I ordered red Burgundy and recieved this.

  Impressions from 3 samples, each 24 hours apart from the same bottle. This is a young wine with quality oak in need of time to integrate. The fruit is ripe and nicely delineated, but obviously from a vintage different than many of those preceding it. There’s more acid (ripe not tart) and less flesh. I noted baking spices, hints of black pepper, orange peel, white florals and undergrowth. With time it may garner a higher score. My experience with this wine since the 2015 vintage has been uniformly positive.

  Lovely color. The nose shows fragrant aromas of wild summer berries, flowers, forest floor, minerals and oak. This is medium bodied on the palate with very good concentration and real class. The medium plus length finish features moderate tannic grip.
