Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Grapes from small Paso Robles AVAs blocks, aged in 75% new oak for 18 mos. Dark Ruby, aromas of sweet ripe black fruits, smoky tobacco and pepper spices. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with herb, cacao, espresso and vanilla oak, after it opened up. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cacao, vanilla and earthy herbs. Good but let this age for a couple of years.

Extremely fruit forward, low tannins, really good if you’re into that kind of thing. Black current heavy on the nose

Nice tannins and some strong ruby fruit.
Not digging the super oak… sweetness… and strong clove / allspice direction. I’m sure others do, but not for me.

Wish I cellared this… maybe then…

One of the best wines I have had in years and think it benefited from sitting open for a day for the second tasting.
