Dark, almost viscous. Loads of currant on nose, but some heat too. Nice dark fruit, long finish. Nice wine but for me lacked some of the bold red fruits I associate with Paso. But a very different blend than most, of course (cab, petit verdot, Syrah).

2010 44/33/23% blend of Cab, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Very nice, but my favorite neighbor is the one whose damn kids stay off my damn lawn.

Few hours left being 22, might as well pop a yummy bottle! Always love the Booker reds, might be a little biased though :)

Let's just say I was VERY upset when my mom and her friends didn't leave any to share at Thanksgiving dinner.
