Lots of darker red fruits. It has that dusty almost stone style overhang with the fruit. A bit more on the darker side (I think that makes sense since I think this is a CS grape). Very dry and easy to drink. Enjoyable.

This is young and still a bit in the disjointed phase. The oak and vanilla more pre-dominant. The fruit more muted although there's definitely some blueberry and similar. Would be interesting to come back to in maybe 5 or so years.

I really enjoyed this. Overall just singing. While the Three Acre was a bit wobbly still this was very well put together and balanced. It's definitely on the young side and for my taste I wouldn't be drinking it for at least 10 and prob more like 15-20 years. Lots of more darker fruits (think blackberry). A bit on the riper side but not overdone. It's definitely Napa and prob more in the modern style, but quite enjoyable.

The D'Yquem project. First year of this wine. Grapes were harvested on Dec 1st so quite late and after they'd had time to truly shrink. I love D'Yquem as much as the next person, but I also appreciated some of the differences in this one. It's lighter and a bit less full bodied. The kindof wine that works really nicely as an after dinner sipper when you've had a big meal with bigger reds. Very crisp and light. Sweet for sure, but almost more of a demi-sec where it doesn't feel like a full blown sweet wine. Some honeydew and apricot notes. Quite enjoyable.
