Utterly delicious. Bursting with exuberant fruit framed by acid, and has cigar box and tobacco notes. Mouth filling and a wonderful pairing with steak

Bit of funk, blew off. Almost tarry underbrush, deep red fruit. Beautiful silky texture that finishes long. Keeps opening up to reveal more dark black cherry fruit

Solid. Reliable. Delicious. Smoke and pepper and dark cherry fruit. After lean, steely Barbarescos this was like warm chocolate cake

Wow. Ripeness, lift, structure. Fresh, funky, floral, fruity, meaty, spicy. This wine really had it all. So good. Almost good enough to lift the pain of the Warriors game....

2010. Old world / new world combo. Earthiness with plenty of dark berry fruit.
