Opened tonight with a porcini crusted rib eye. Still drinking well. A little brick on the edges, but still enough dark fruit to be enjoyable. A few legs and still a little tannins left. Good choice for the weeknight steak.

- Brick color with medium forming legs and aromas of pineapple. It's balanced and has flavours of melon, black pepper and hazelnut with a medium/full body. Silky texture with a long finish.

Amazing wine. Aromas of dark cherry, some toasty oak, and a little mushroom. Drinking very young right now. Flavors of dark berries, a little cow pasture, herb, and cedar. Wonderful acidity on the mid palate. Long finish with sweet tannins. What a wonderful surprise.

Just opened today at the Outer Banks with a beautiful filet. what a prize. This wine might not be at its peak. Beautiful dark cherries on the nose. Lots of legs. Very subtle tannins on the end. An unbelievable "Sonoma County" vinted wine. Sorry I had no more.

Had to decant this one since the bottom of the cork was crumbling. Seemed a little overripe and flat upon opening, but after an hour or so of aeration it seemed to improve quite a bit, gaining structure and a lengthier finish, with a nice balance of tannin and fruit. I was worried it was past its prime, but all in all it still seems like a very nice wine if you give it the chance.
