P: Med body; RNDISH entry with nice, ALMOST swtish frt fairly quickly met by astringent pucker which only somewhat resolves by the LONG, very, VERY slightly puckerish finish with a bitter/swtness to the still considerable tannins. Overly structured IMHO, I'd cellar through '20 to see IF it comes together. Otherwise, my VG-/VG. 91 pts ea Suckling & WE @ $42. [Check with this vendor if interested in their *very* COMPETITIVE price.]

SPicy fruit, smells like Carneros' angular strawberry. And tastes like Carneros Pinot as well. At $30 I wouldn't buy it, but there it is.

Ripe dark berries and an herbal note on the nose, with boysenberry and vanilla flavors on the palate. A faint smoky note provides lift.
