These wines age so nicely and they really do get better with more age. What a great balance to this wine with deep dark fruits and a coffee character matched with some savory. Delicious!

Big mouthful of Paso Robles fruit forward beauty and meaty savory Syrah influences. This was gone in 30 seconds absorbed by our friends in no time. Kudos, Russell!!
