East end of Sta. Rita Hills, tends to be a little more plush on aroma and palate. Overall executed great, just not my style for the AVA.

v14. Very enjoyable. Opaque color. Smokey, meaty nose. Juicy black cherry fruit. Earthy, black pepper, cola, chocolate finish. Nicely balanced. Note: awesome Smokey nose upon opening.

Not fully translucent. Good spice on the nose, black pepper, eucalyptus, menthol, and some prune hidden in the background. Tannins are lush and delicate with acidity pouring down the tip of the tongue. That eucalyptus and menthol combo hits upfront on the palate with rainbow peppercorn following. There’s blackberry there and a touch of dusty dry dirt. That’s about it...lacks a bit of depth.

This developed very nicely over 3 days. It’s good stuff. I wouldn’t wait too much longer to drink. Another year or so.
