While true, there is also the happiness when expectations are realized.
I purchased this because it was made by Vailia Esh, wife of Herman Story's Russell From. Owing to my penchant for Herman Story wines and female winemakers, I was sold!
Easily the best nose of sub-40 bottle I may have ever had!! I couldn't stop smelling it!
Excellent oak treatment. Totally allowed the purity of the fruit to show, as the name suggests.
Complete winner.

This is maturing beautifully. Silky smooth tannins and enough fruit to keep going.
