Good, solid meritage, but probably a little overpriced. Nothing really grabbed me and said this is a complex, nuanced killer blend, but I enjoyed it overall.

BIG. Needs more time and LOTS of air. I had to decant this wine since there was so much sediment, it wouldn't allow me to pour the wine... it just clogged the neck. After about 2 hours in the decanter, it was big fruit and OAK. It eventually got fairly nice, but I just wasn't prepared for the impact of such a huge wine. Good, but not worth the price, imo.

Red fruit. Touch of tobacco with a little oak. Acidity and hoisin sauce.

Disappointed in this. Previous vintage might have been better.
