2010 Celani Family Vineyards TenaciousOak Knoll District Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/15/2024 - garye wrote: 92 pointsI am a big Celani fan, and this did not disappoint. First taste after 30 minute decant (I was impatient) was delicious red fruit with mild tannins, and it improved as it opened up. I would recommend a 60 minute decant, and to drink up! |
