Red fruit on the nose and palate. Smooth with a hint of sweetness in the medium finish. Balanced well. I felt the wine was a bit generic and lacked depth. There were minimal secondary flavors and the cherry/raspberry flavors were tepid. By the second day it was flat and uninteresting. Past prime, but it must have faded very fast.

not a bad wine, hitting the typical awkward CA phase before it becomes mature. Fruit and Oak really prominent now, a certain ripeness is really forward right now.

From magnum. Back end tastes acidified otherwise rather harmonious

This is still drinking nicely from the magnum despite the advanced age. Dark fruit and nice balance. A crowd pleaser.
