It's been a while since I've had this...bought these at the winery back in 2008 on a Santa Barbara trip. Still lovely and consistent with previous tasting.

Better than I recall from the last tasting. Nose of eucalyptus and leather. Tart fruit on the palate opens softly into a subtle wash of toasted oak and then fades to a warm finish.

A little time in bottle has done wonders for this wine. Slightly tart fruit that opens up, slight bell pepper, toasty oak, and medium tannin.

Took a long time to open, even via decanter. Complex fruit. Needs more time.
