  Tasting very nice! Decant, a lot of sediment

  This year the Range 30 West red wine is 60% merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Despite being just 4 years and a couple of months old, it had thrown a ton of sediment. I had not decanted it, but strongly recommend doing so unless you want the last glass to be sludge!
  
  The bouquet suggests cherries, dried Italian herbs, and cassis. The palate follows the nose, suggesting rich red and black fruit with a dash of spice. Nice food wine.

  Medium color, ruby. Aromatic, gamey with hint in caramel. Floral, fresh white flowers, red licorice. Medium to full bodied with fresh acidity. Excellent balance. Asian 5-spice on mid-palate, caramel, black & red currant and ripe plum. On second night, this exploded with savory fruit and peppery, Asian spices on lengthy finish. Really fantastic!

  Showing really well now, and just coming around, this Merlot-Cab Franc blend drinks like a junior Cheval Blanc, showing balanced cassis, black cherry and herbal notes surrounded by sweet tannins and finishing long and tasty. Sill lots of life left in the cellar, and a great example of this excellent microclimate for Bordeaux varietals in Santa Barbara County.
