From magnum: decanted 4 hours for a magnum dinner party. No detailed notes but I do recall it definitely needed the decant. A little sharp and tart on opening but smoothed out very nicely prior to dinner. V nice a a build up from the Patz & Hall Pinot we started with and the St Helena Winery Grande Reserve Cab we ended the evening with.

Very pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this. It is drinking beautifully now. Vibrant and bright, it just danced across my palate with notes of blueberries, blackberries and earth undertones. I'm only sorry that this is my only bottle, but I'll be scouring my local stores for more.
I didn't have it with food, but it's not difficult to imagine how it would go oh-so-well with bread dipped in olive oil and a big helping of pasta and bolognese sauce. Just a big "yum" on every level.

Plums, cassis, dark fruits, violets, scorched earth, and a touch of smoke/toasted oak. Vibrant acidity and fresh.
As always, a nice and chewy red. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Petit Verdot and 15% Cabernet Franc.

Cassis, spice, black and blue fruits, plum. Nice finish and acidity. Aging along nicely. Drinking generously as I feel like it.
