December 11, 2009 - Popped, decanted and poured about 20 minutes after decanting. Beautiful transparent red. Subdued nose of Napa earth and a very faint whiff of vanilla. This is a very interesting wine. Fairly light in color and body, but it packs a whole bunch of flavor. Seamless, smooth, the fruit, acids and tannins are all beautifully balanced. This is one of those wines where I can't define the fruit because the wine is wine. It is not piecemealed. It is cut from the same cloth. Very impressive.
