  California wines but not from Napa: I don't think this was decanted. Drank a small glass over an hour. It didn't appear tannic, but the oak was incredibly evident. The fruit also huge. At this stage it's a cocktail wine for sure and I'll have to fall back on my belief that SQN reds need 12 years minimum from vintage.

  This has improved since last year, I did open the bottle over 6 hours before drinking, this may have contributed to how amazing this wine is.

  Method: pop and pour; Cab glass; cellar temp
  
  Nose: black cherry, pencil shavings, candied violets
  
  Palate: Black cherry, baking spices, graphite; dry; medium superfine silky tannins; medium adicty
  
  Overall thoughts: Not complex, but very tasty with an incredible tannins and mouthfeel. Very polished. Great wine!

  Popped and poured...very dark...explosive fruit with smooth tannins and long finish.
