Ruby with aromas of fresh ripe berries, herbs, spices and oak. The palate shows juicy black cherry, blackberries and complex spice with gentle oak. The wine is well balanced, rich, great mouth feel, fine tannins with a little backbone to allow for aging. The finish has good length and ends with oaky notes.

Spicy aroma. Fruity, deep black plum and strawberry flavor. A bit sweet, juicy, powerful . It is difficult to put it after an elegant Chardonnay, Meursault. 2012 @1680 -, Fwine, 210603-210612

That went fast, too fast. Probably would’ve enjoyed it more of it was decanted.
$80 from the Duckhorn portfolio club

For some reason, this did not score well in a recent local Pinot tasting. I rated it highly.
