On first opening dominated by acidity and palate on the thin side. Back after an hour - same. This bottle is well over the hill. So, most of the bottles from this case were excellent but a couple were less so. Picked up directly from the winery on release and stored in a cool cellar.

Beautiful with great structure & flavors. NOT tired or over the hill, still with fine tannins and decent acidity to be an outstanding food wine. Tastes like the grapes were optimally ripe while not going over the all-to-often-crossed line to overripeness. Likely has a few great years to go but I love this now.

Now on to bottle #3 of a case - bit too ripe this time around. Tried pairing with fresh local King salmon but was too heavy, would have been better with duck confit or roast pork with a lot of garlic. According to notes and memory prior two bottles were stylistically more elegant.

Finally opened the case of this wine - and what a delight! Rich and complex on the nose and palate. Perfect balance and structure, no rough edges. One goes quickly from enjoying the finish to reaching back for the glass to start the party over again. Love this vineyard.

This wine brought a smile to my face. Elegant red fruit with a hint of green that adds depth and complexity. It's been a while since a wine captivated me as this did.
