Introduction
Could not believe some of the old tasting notes I found prior to my Cellar Tracker recording days so adding them. Great event and a Parker Board member was generous to help source some the older vintages.

Nice fruit with cherry, plum and blueberries. Medium plus finish and pretty concentrated wine. Found this in an old tasting note word document.

A bit hot. Spices, ripe fruit and low on acidity. Not in the same league as the Quilceda Cabs.
