  Excellent wine -- buy more -- drinking very well. Typical Spring Mountain with perfect balance and great finish -- blue fruit profile.

  Opened and decanted one hour. Took to Wood Tavern in Oakland and decanted another hour during our meal of rib eye steaks. Some heat on the nose with oak and berry notes. Initial super saturated dark berry fruit with very dry dusty tannins on the palate. Fortunately the fatty rib eye steaks were delivered to the table and with the sauce helped out immensely. Surprisingly light in body; ends with a dry blackberry and cherry finish with some heat. Good to Very Good.
  
  FYI, I can’t tell if this is a long term ager or if the heat will burn up the fruit and become a hot mess. Wine was provided by my buddy who received it as a gift from a relative who had some connection with the winery.

  Night One - On the nose, it's blueberry, licorice, chocolate, spice, a fair amount of spearmint and a healthy dose of oak/ vanilla which, in my opinion, is masking an otherwise solid representation of Spring Mountain fruit. This might just need a few more years for the oak to take a backseat. Finish is there, it's not a blockbuster but it's a good 30 seconds. At the same time, it's a bit disjointed from the rest of the wine. 93 for now, it's got upside in a few years
