Opened another bottle...this has not gotten any better from when I first tried it. While some "fruit bombs" still have underlying power and complexity...I find this bottle just sweet and syrupy lacking anything else. Not a fan.

Decanted for 2 hours. Bright ruby red and very aromatic. Tastes like boysenberry pie in a glass. BIG alcohol, but very well integrated. This wine very one dimensional, but nontheless quite yummy.

May have been enhanced somewhat by the food pairing, but best bottle of Angeli Cuvèe I've had in a while. The fruit, acid and tannins were right in balance, and it just exploded with flavor in combination with the short rib.

A Ridge-like blend of zin, petite sirah and carignan from Geyserville, and not surprisingly it shared many of the same notes that I expect from Ridge wines, but at a lower tariff. A core of dark fruits, with the full body supplied by the PS and a medium-long finish. By the second night the fruit was fading, revealing some balsamic notes. Overall, a very enjoyable wine.
