It took a long time to open up in the glass, I’d give it at least an hour and a half in a decanter or in the glass, to get the fruit to come out, and for a fuller expression The wine was beautiful once the fruit came out, however, I think this one will be better in a year or two more of bottle aging

Great wine Still a lot of primary fruit, but just starting to fade Great balance, and tannins still there and well integrated This label is a real sleeper and great value fruit from the backside of Howell mtn, not at the elevation considered Howell
