60 minute decant. Nose of black cherry, black plum, bay leaf, and pine needles. Palate delivers black plum, dried herbs, clay earth, and lots of white pepper. Robust tannins on the finish with coffee grounds, dried rosemary, dark and dusty cherry fruit, and lingering oak. Smooth and balanced.

Big and plush with loads of blackberries and blueberries, black olives, espresso and cigar ash. Dusty tannins and ample acidity. Powerful but compact. Great aging potential.

Winey Weekend With the Woodwards in Woodinville!!; 2/29/2024-3/2/2024 (Where else?): Another big bold wine for this day! Deeply black fruited with mocha, tar, stone and florals. Huge New World wine opposite to the 2015 Cote Rotie also opened this night. Wow! Now-2030. But why wait?
