Double decanted two hours before service. Opaque purple. Great black fruits with a really balanced acid/tannin structure. A really easy wine to drink. Would pair with lamb loin very easily. Great drinking now, but will hold up for years. Wish I had more.

Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (R&D's): Double blind. Dark fruit dominates the nose and palate. Hints of raisin combine with something a bit herbal; there's also a sappiness here that I find enjoyable. Flavors of blackberry syrup, sage and plum. Excellent. (J&J)

Popped and poured. A little Brett on the nose- not a problem for me. Bright and juicy fruit; hasn't faded at all. The tannins have softened some, but are still there. The acid is still plentiful, bringing balance. A very nice wine that's getting better. It should be very nice around 2018.

Popped and poured. Dark red. Great black fruit. Still pretty tannic, but they don't get in the way of enjoying the wine. Really nice.

Just delicious. Earthy, funky, showing a nice middle aged character. Fruit is still quite bold and this will likely age well for a long time to come.
