9.2

Tang-sequel coloration with perfect equilibrium and crown persistence. Wig white, even dissipation reminiscent of fine cigar burn. Striating lacing of cartoon chompers and snowy tangle of wildwood. Pleasant malty and citrus interplay punctuated by oranges and pink grapefruit wild strawberry tart with caramel and sweet tobacco and Turkish coffee from a distance. Paisley lacing ensues. Lemon oils and candied grapefruit peel frame a tangerine occurrence and sparkly mineral stardusting, and a textural approximation of peaches that adds pliancy. After the initial fruit, and subsequent sips your mouth builds up the bitter units to tangible topography that lingers. Overall, a well crafted and thoughtfully restrained offering from an iconic producer. You can sense that they wanted to get this one right. Lacing remnants: gothic text with horror overtones on one side, middle command graphics, and a t-Rex-alligator-puma logo for your new pumped up kicks. .

I love this vineyard. Nothing else like it in the Monterey area. Big bold flavors. — 8 years ago

Yeah, big Shiraz. Everything you look for with ripe blackcurrant/plums but I think can still improve with a number of years. Not for the faint hearted. Serious Shiraz lovers, step up to the plate and have a swing. — 9 years ago

Delectable identified this as Cab franc but actually it is the Predator Meritage-a real find. Smooth, rich, low tannins but nicely balanced acid with tons of dark fruit — 9 years ago

It’s funny. Paring is important. This is great with a peppery tri-tip and makes it a 9.0. Not great with pasta or anything without peppery taste. Also the storage or the way it was bottled could have something to do with it as well. Completely different compared to the same vintage almost 6 months ago. — 6 years ago

2012 simply delicious. This wine is a rich bold wine with a smooth taste from the moment it touches your tongue until after it is gone. Highly recommend. — 7 years ago

Straw color. Very oaky with lemon. Buttery texture with modest acid peaking through at the finish. If you like oak in chards, this is the wine for you. — 8 years ago
