Awesome wine. Red fruited, polished, with fine acidity and poise. Has a little of everything, with cherry and cranberry nose, stony quality on the palate and strong length. Haven't had much from this producer but this was impressive.

Stunning. Is in a perfect place right now but will go on for at Long time as is still very fruit driven. Classic Napa. Cassis and blackberry. Tannins well integrated. Some clove and mint. Just a huge pleasure to drink. Sadly my last bottle - will need to buy more

(tasted blind) Deep purple. Mint and black fruit. Very confected Christmas pudding note of maraschino cherry, sweet spice, vanilla and cream. In the mouth rich, creamy and spicy. Plenty of alcohol heat. Christmas cake again, lots going on. Toasted oak. Touches of coconut - though there is no dominant fruit profile there is plenty of fruit. Also, it's a little bit sickly - almost off dry? Good quality oak. Too much for me though. .

Delicious wine. Has mellowed with time - this isn't a huge blockbuster. Great cassis and fruit purity.
