  March 25, 2011 - 2nd bottle.
  
  A wine with considerable levels of, ...components. I hesitate to call it complexity, as I feel that hints towards integration--I just don't get that from this wine at the moment. Maybe it needs more time to come together to allow the synergistic energy to develop amongst the different pieces of this puzzle. I'm guessing all 3 varietals are from different sites, and I can not imagine this was a coferment.
  
  More reminiscent of a Languedoc than a southern Rhone. Showing feral tonight with a high level a brightness contributed by the Marsanne--this combination perplexes me. Iron, kirsch, cherry and dandelion own this wine. Strong acid structure and smooth silky tannins. Minerality in spades. Animal fur and black cherry as well.
  
  A wine that will certainly benefit from age. How long, not sure but think the sky is the limit.
  
  I would recommend buying this wine if you can find it, but be willing to lay it down for a minimum of 5 years.
