Dark, inky purple in color. While there was ample dark fruit on the front palate, the finish carried some "heat" that I remember when tasting this at the winery two years ago, suggesting this may not be ready yet. While this was a pleasant enough way to open the evening, this was ultimately overwhelmed by a flight of big Shiraz's and Zinfandel.

Let it open and enjoy. We'll miss these Ray Coursen oldies when they're gone.

For how beautiful this color is I was surprised there is little nose. Still inky with supple tannins and black currant and black cherry.
