  I didn't give it enough air time....needs more time in the bottle or a 2+ hour decant. deep plum cherry and blueberries....would have evolved more if I didn't let people attack it. rich and thick...deep purple color.

  Had in a line up of older Bordeaux and Italian, so I wondered how this would match up. Modern for sure, but really well balanced. Would not have guessed Cab Franc, but regardless, a solid wine.

  Really lovely, and with life left. Color starting to brick, but that’s really the only sign of aging. Enough vegetal notes that I probably would have guessed syrah blind, although the texture is more American Bordeaux-blend.

  More 2009 Bordeaux than California (what a thing to say?) Barnyard, stables, good but not extraordinary
