  Some day someone will see this and wonder if I was out of my mind, but I need to rate to what I taste as this is the second bottle with identical notes. Cali meets burgundy personified. Absolutely dead palate with a soft nose at open that becomes outstanding at 30-60 minutes. Dark cherries with earth on the finish. Air continues to drive it forward up to 3-4 hours where it finally is open (though I prefer hour 1). Something completely unexpected, both at the price point and the source, which is part of what makes this so outstanding.
