Double decanted 2 hours prior to drinking from magnum. Dark cherry, plum, slight floral notes. Smooth for high alcohol content. Still has plenty of life left in it. Delicious with lamb ragout first course and short rib main.

Give it 2 hours of air time to come together. It’s a tart unbalanced messed until then. Chocolate covered cherries, kirsh, cinnamon, strawberry, complex balance...

Impressive winemaking considering this has 15.9% ABV! and is still very balanced. Dark and clear color; big nose of dark sweet fruit and some herbs, flavors or ripe berry and plum and some bitter cocoa.

This was a tasty one, loaded full of sweet red fruit and dark chocolate and a little bit of charred herbs. Soft tannins. A yummy wine, albeit not especially complex. But well made, and represents Linne Calodo and Paso Robles well. The heat wasn't obvious, but I was tipsy after just half the bottle.

From a magnum, sweet zippy red fruits dominate. Good soft ripe cherry red flavors and drinks fine if not just a touch simple. I was hoping for more complexity, although others liked this more than myself.
