Found this bottle lurking in the closet and decided to drink it. It was so much better than I expected. Thought it would be past its prime but age has helped this wine develop into a very rich, fruit forward expression of the varietal. But there is something about the 2007 vintage in the foothills that I seem to like so I may be biased.

Vanilla, cherry and jammy nose. Quite long with nice acidity and fruit. Had it with meatballs and brussel sprouts and it worked very well. Very drinkable even without food.

Opened after dinner. A bit thin with no lingering flavours. Probably past its drinking prime. Will try a later vintage

Like the last one. Noticed a lot of smoke in the nose this time. Very good everyday wine.
