I can't believe I'm only the 3rd person to review this wine. They sell them by the truck load in the Bay Area. I think this wine is at it's peak or peak only very recently unfortunately I don't another bottle to try 6 months from now. The nose is super complex with loads of plums, minerals, celery seeds, and pickle juice. In the mouth the tannins are still tightly wrapped around plum, cherry, dark chocolate, and cedar. Finishes long and smooth as you would expect for a wine this age.
Drink it if you have it.
Remember, you don't drink the label.

Very fruit-forward meritage. this was very pleasing, but a bit thin in the middle. I think it has peaked, but is still drinking well. I have one more and plan to drink it soon.
