  Nose fairly complex -- some green, some dill barrel, some pinot spice. All in all not profound, or not pronouced might be the better way to say it.
  
  The palate has fairly "gutsy" tannins -- the tannins are higher on the back end of the palate than the fruit. And they do linger on. So maybe they will resolve in time but that is not what I am sensing.
  
  David (?) was the wine maker for Morgon and then came here. But my understanding is that Morgon in the early years were having refermentation problems because of the natural yeast, unfinied / unfiltered policy.
  
  Its ok at $31, if that. But overall I think I prefer Morgan 12 Clones within the same area. And that bottles is $6 less expensive.

  Kvällens vin, det här gillar jag, struktur , inte för syltigt utan stramt med bra tanniner som balanserar frukten. Växer i glaset. Kombination av en bourgogne och kaliforniskt vin som fungerar riktigt bra. Det här skulle jag gärna köpa

  Wine Enthusiast Toast of the Town. Nose of black cherry fruit, sage, on the palate it was tasty, medium/big body, and long finish.
