Decanted for about an hour, nice expression of ripe red fruit (cherry/raspberry) and somewhat unripe dark fruit (blackberry) as well as some spice and vanilla notes. Nice acidity, and balance with a decent finish. Not sure it justifies the cost, but overall a very enjoyable wine.

This screams"California" with plush varietal character fruit, strong backbone and a good splash of oak. We opened this at the right time, too.
