Very earthy and full bodied. Expressed varietal characteristics very well. I paired with a really rich steak and it worked perfectly. Producer uses PV grape for other blends and if there's enough left over will produce a limited number of single variety bottles. 2009 vintage drank in summer 2015 which tasted like the perfect amount of time to lay down.

Really crisp and refreshing. The oak didn't take over but was still very evident. Really liked the balance. Would definitely purchase again. Perfect for a summer patio, with or without food.

Didn't find this wine particularly balanced. The acidity took away from the sweetness and fruit expression.
