  April 27, 2012 - Red plums with just a hint of balsamic. Its bougquet further entices with on the palate juicy dark cherry and huckleberry flavors, rounded off by a delightful creamy finish.

  April 9, 2011 - Cant put my finger on the flavors. Maybe it is my fifth wine tasting at SF vintners. Fruity and jammy. Nice would try with chocolate strawberries. Not worthy of a steak

  January 28, 2011 - Walking tour of tasting rooms on Lincoln Ave Calistoga, Ca 1/28/2011: I tasted this wine at their tasting room (on a walk no drive tasting day in Calistoga) along with all their current releases. This one jumped out as distinctive for several reasons. Two of those reasons were their written description mentioning balsamic, and huckleberry. I don't think I have ever heard the description for balsamic on a wine, and unfortunately I can't perceive huckleberry. What I did perceive is what I am beginning to understand as "Rutheford Dust" which to me is kind of an iron, mineral, lead graphite taste and feel to the tannins, and at the end of the fruit. With a little imagination, I can catch the spicy earthy grip of balsamic lingering behind this dust. This is a pretty big wine that is still quite elegant and tasty. I suspect the extra bottle age has helped the blend integrate.
