This was definitely more open and ready to go than the prior bottle. Beautiful nose with red fruit, mint, orange peel, pipe tobacco, evergreen forest floor, and crushed violet. The palate has lovely red cherry, spices and good depth with some structure still underlying. With food the structure is not that notable, but its there and should allow plenty of further development. Really lovely. I think these wines are great and offer fantastic value in the Conterno portfolio.

Susannah and I opened this bottle for one short drink before we went to my birthday party at the John Steven. We liked the wine.
Then, it sat, well-corked, for seven days. We started our lamb chop dinner with it and found it quite luscious. Deep color, full-bodied, despite one week of sitting. Susannah identified “cherries.“
WHERE THE HECK DID I BUY IT? I NEED TO BUY MORE?

really fantastic. drank over three days: held up no problem, so dont anticipate needing to be in a hurry to drink, but good youthful fruit and its approachable and fun to drink now. why wait?

PnP at Steps Beach with Neapolitan pizza. Didn't take any formal notes. This was bright with red fruits on the palate with a nice level of acidity. This paired perfectly with the pizza. 93
