Gave the wine hours of air before trying. Soft tannins that barely dry my palate. More red fruits than dark fruits but the fruit is more in the background than the palate. Not a bold wine at all but also not feminine. I feel that the wine is slowly showing its age an isn’t as flamboyant as it probably once was. I didn’t try it in it’s youth but that’s my guess. Easy drinker. Doesn’t need food. Lasting finish but not anywhere near spectacular.

With NY Strip…. Opening-Very herbal, sappy, cassis,licorice, glycerin and long. Slight blackberry sour note. After 60 minutes it Developed much darker profile and was very smooth.

One of the better wines o have had in quite some time I enjoyed the overall balance and velvet of this wine. Simply put; soft mouth on the front, slight herbs with gentle fruit and a long finish. Last bottle, with heartache. We need a “love it” option.

Soft and pretty CA-fruited heavy; easy to drink but not very inspiring.

Eleven year old and still drinking very nicely. It was a great Father's Day wine with my son. I wish I had more.
