Not nearly as much age as I expected for a 2005 (nearly 20 years in). Had a tartness (a lot of blackberry and cherry).

Although a Napa red it had a more Spanish Rioja angle to it, leathery and floral.

Fantastic, fully bodied, big fruit (almost Syrah like).

Love this! Perfect Left Bank!

This is an incredibly rare blend from Sonoma. The wine is arguably medium bodied, very subtle fruit and oak with near perfect structure. The wine is reminiscent of a French or Italian wine with sweet fruit on the nose, but darker fruits in the mouth and an earthy finish.

Full bodied and bold Pinot, cherry cola, sweeter finish, drier than most pinots

5/5/2019 - philknight Does not like this wine:

Warm crisp on the nose, alot of citrus and green fruit (lemon, green apple) with minerality on the finish. Very smooth mouthfeel, but a bit too acidic and tart for my taste.

Green apple, honeysuckle, peach. Fruity, smooth mouth feel, sweeter finish. Residual sugar.

Needs an hour or two decanting to bring out any fruit. Fairly dry and acidic with modest fruit.
