Excellent wine in a great place. Calm with the cherry stillness others have noted. This has settled down from a few years ago, when it was more rugged...Glad I have followed this evolution over the lifespan of the 2014 vintage. The acidity here will no doubt give this another half decade or more of interest.

This wine has gottenplenty of praise, especially on previous notes from others. I tracked down this 2012 Fort Ross - and it is at best an average wine. I was lured by the idea of the rugged California coast growing Cabernet Sauvignon...this a thin wine without power or finesse. Not sure why others are suggesting this will get better. I'll give this an 85.

2016 Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino Fornace

Nothing stood out about the Fornace that I didn't feel from Ragnaie 's entry level Brunello in 2016. Tasted over two nights.
Nice cherry, good acidity...but didn't feel like a single vineyard...
