This is a great wine at $70 which was the original price point. Round Pond is trying to get rid of the rest of their inventory to $100, not a good QPR. Very approachable, notes of dark fruit, very decent Napa mid pallet without excessive sweetness or tannins. The tannins that are there are well integrated and the wine exhibits some complexity. Not sure it will hold up especially well in a few more years, but it is drinking very well right now.

Deep dark reddish-purple almost opaque in color. Full, forward, & fragrant aromas of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of dusty/earthy & floral notes, herbs, cocoa, minerals & notes of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with cocoa, herbs, minerals & a note of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing (90 min+) but should develop further with additional aging.
