This should be decanted for about an hour now. It took 3 hours in the glass to open up and gain the depth I recalled when tasting this at the winery. Very fruit forward with a tiny bit of polish. Overall, well made and in its prime drinking window. Fully resolved tannins. Although this isn’t my preferred style of wine, I highly enjoyed this with a dry aged 48 ounce prime porterhouse that I grilled and served rare with sweet potatoes. I don’t see this improving and best consumed within the next 2-3 years. Revisit 2025

15.3% abv. 100% cab. Gave it 2hrs out of the bottle. Bright and polished. Juicy jammy sweet fruit. Chewy tannins. Enjoyed before dinner and after a burger. Better after a meal.

Received a partial bottle from my Oenophile neighbor. 15.3% abv
Had a sip. Dark red color on the pour, opaque in the glass. Lovely nose ot Blackberry & dark red fruits. Blackberry & Cassis on the palate with vanilla notes. Great, full-body, pleasant mouth feel, Nice acidity and Tannins with a 'bit-o-bite.' Great lingering finish.

WE have been drinking the 201 vintage for ten years and it is time to finish whatever bottles remain.

This wine does not seem to age. This was my last bottle but still felt alive and strong, beautiful aromas and palate follow through.
