Rylan Carpena

8.5

Pleasantly surprised by this inexpensive wine. Medium color concentration, medium-minus tannin, medium viscosity, medium intensity. Fruit aromas of dried cherry and plum. Low acid, medium alcohol, long finish with medium complexity. — 10 years ago

My go-to, moderately-priced wine that just happens to be delicious. I'm more of a cab drinker but this gives me all the complexity I need without the weight. — 10 years ago

Basically, Napa in a bottle. I was surprised by my first taste as it was quite obvious that I should've decanted the bottle first (I'm sure it's just the vintage). After some mellowing-out time, it was simply exquisite. Full-bodied and oaky. My favorite type of wine. — 10 years ago
