  Fruity mid palate, lovely bouquet of mixed secondary & tertiary notes. Medium body, integrated tannin on the finish. Enjoyable.

  Stewed tomatoes, cherry, wet leaves, wet earth, but surprisingly fresh with a medium body, and tart cherry in the mouth, slight herbal aspect; fine but present tannins, good tangy lively finish. Good and holding up well! 12.5%

  New Years 2011 at Pickberry (Pickberry Vineyard): WOTN! This has really stepped up its presence, and provided the perfect comparator to the 88 Lynch Bages. With the 1990 vintage or so, the Pickberry took on a right-bank personna, but the 1988 is more akin to a left bank style, but note the amazing presence of cabernet franc (56% Cabernet; 34% Cabernet Franc; 10% Merlot). Elegant wine, and not at all stemmy or olivey, out-performed the Lynch Bage. Enjoyed at the source (reserve du patron), with pristine cellar conditions since bottling.
