95 Points

Saturday, October 10, 2009 - I have been drinking this wine since its release and I must say that it has always been a great drinker. It has certainly mellowed since those first bottles, but it never fails to impress. I picked up another case at the Zachy's LA auction today and since we were cooking steak, I figured it was a good time to pop a bottle. The most notable feature of this wine is its drinkability, which may also be its downfall, since it was gone before we knew it. Great acidity, still good tannins, nice dark fruits. No heat issues at all - less than 14% alc. from a CA wine, who knew it? I will miss this wine when it all gone.
