Wonderful nose to this wine. Fruit forward with figs and jammy undertones. Smooth on the pallets with a good balance of tannins and acidity. Long finish. I wish I had one more bottle to savour again.

This wine continues to get better with time. Last bottle over a year ago seemed disjointed, this one was in a very sweet spot. Bold, rich, spicy, with a little more weight that before -all the elements beautifully coming together, did I mention silky smooth. One bottle left and looking forward to it.

This bottle is the first we have had since our very first Valdez in the town of Jenner overlooking the outlet of the Russian River to the Pacific. It brings back very good memories and lives up to them.
Rich dark berry fruits...complex throughout...this is still young and needs a year or two in the bottle for full development.

Always good, but seemed a little fiery and disjointed. My friend Rene loved it.
