  Pretty dark cherry flavors, pleasant, not terribly complex but has a gorgeous cashmere-like texture. Most beautifully shaped bottle on the table, too, have never seen one one like this.

  Opened up after a few minutes. Nice drinking, not super complex.

  Pop and pour, very similar to earlier this year. Pleasant wine on its own or w food, but wouldn’t put this up to beef. Would actually work w fish or poultry. Enjoyable but I definitely question JD’s 10-15 year lifespan.

  $50 -meh, not great at this price. A nice start with some fruit and acidity, but doesn’t hit you like a Napa cab should. The fruit is weak and the finish is lacking, the wine just falls off a cliff and you don’t know you just had a drink. It should stay with you a while. Anyway I wouldn’t buy it again at this price. It would be a good $30 bottle.

  Dave Phinney continues to WIN for me. His artistry with his blends is what I look for. He makes young wine drink like it has been in the bottle much longer. Can't wait to try the 2016 bottle I have remaining.
