Seems a bit awkward so may not have settled down from shipment I received about a week ago. Nicely balanced but a bit dull in the tones of the flavor. I'll give the remaining 5 btls a few more weeks before I open the next.

Ojai/Santa Barbara (Ojai and Santa B): This was not listed as ``Cuvee V" at the tasting room, so I hope I'm leaving a note for the correct wine. Great soft nose of must, sandalwood; very delicately perfumed. Good acidity on the palate; this is very focused and pure with cranberries, raspberries and slightly underrripe strawberreis; great high-toned acidity. The finish leans tart and is somewhat clipped.
