I thought I was drinking the estate bottling but it turns out to be the Altamont. Wow, what a big wine and super loaded with cola, deep dark berries and some more completely intergraded elements. It had a nice long finish. Overall it was quite different and a bit over the top, Not sure if it would calm down some with more age. Got a few more bottles so I guess I’ll find out.

Black cherry nose w savory component and a hint of vanilla oak. Dense lush black fruit flavors. Wonderful long finish w tannin and alcohol in the finish. Needs another year or two to round out
