Uninteresting over polished wine.

Minerality, black and red fruit on the nose. Medium body, medium tannin, but earthy, minerality and fruity complexity.

Oh my lord. What an extremely balanced, smooth wine. The aroma/nose is perfect, youthful fruits and berries, oak; but the taste is where it's really at. Sublime, smooth, nothing prominent, nothing hidden, all of them sitting in a equal row, like an extremely high end pair of headphones, nearly clinical. High alcohol content, low viscosity, translucent ruby color, presence of gas. What an absolutely incredible wine -- and it's from California!!!

JS: Blackcurrant and berry character on the nose and palate with some floral undertones. Full body, soft and silky tannins with a lovely polish and focus. Medium finish. Balanced and delicious. Pretty blend. Drink in 2019... As he writes. Jammy and delicious, medium finish. Great value.

Excellent! Smooth finish, subtle tannins, needs to breathe. Great for the price point.
