Likely from their St. Amant Vyd vines planted in 1980
N: RIPE berries interlaced with smoke & notes of earth
P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by an astringent pucker which pretty much works itself out by the LONG, BALANCED finish with an attractive tangy/SWTNESS to the FEW, innocuous, dusty tannins. Nicely done in the flirting with R.S. style. For now & probably through '21. 14.5% ABV; My EXC-. Bronze @ '19 S.F. Chronicle @ $18
