First time with this vineyard and was very impressed. Very elegant for a 2015 and definitely entering it's early drinking window. Dark cherry and plum with persistence.

The wine is fruit forward and the tannins are more resolved today. I do find the fruit sweet. The wine is a bit earthy which gives it an interesting character. I sense a little bit of plum in the fruit. The wine is nicely balanced and in my opinion worthy of a current try. I believe the fruit will continue to stay forward for another 3 years. I drank the bottle over a 3-day period and even on the third day there was ample fruit.

Very much agree with CSIMM1161 despite this being 1.5 years later, but I would say that this wine is shaping up well. The fruit is beginning to subside, and while this is no where near as ready as the 2014 is (which, I might add, is stunningly good), I think another 2+ years should begin to see this in a very good place.

This was a great bottle of wine. Nice sweet stewed fruits of plum, dark cherries and spice with dusty light tannins. Very smooth drinker.
