I'm sure I've rated the before, because I have a bunch of the 2009's at home in wine rack. Tasting again at the Bonney Doon tasting room in Nov 2017 it seems to be fading just a wee bit. Still lovely, but drink it soon!

Amazing balance. Youthful fruit, earthiness, spice and cedar, with an incredibly smooth and supple feel. If this were blind I would have no idea I was drinking a California wine.

A well made Rhone blend from California. Not overdone. Pleasant fruit and wet earth.

Smoke, toast, leather, dried red fruits on the nose. Dry; medium plus body and tannin; high acidity. A bit of mineral and blood on the palate as well as cool spices like fennel; leathery; opulent but well-integrated oak.
