HODL Likes this wine: 91 points
October 14, 2019 - Leaner body, more Bordeaux like than CA mouthfeel. Great acidity, just a touch past it’s peak at this point, but still drinking w great life still in it
Tasting notes of prune and plum, date, and dried dark fruits. Notes of chocolate covered cherry and vanilla on the nose. Wine #3 in a blind tasting event at my house.
