Paso GSM with 37/34/29% blend. Medium cherry red color, with aromas of stone fruits (ripe cherries and plum) and faint vanilla. On the palate it's big, tannic, and oaky with prominent cherry and plum flavors and a really faint hint of peach. The mouthfeel is a bit spicy with a bite that makes sense given the 15.3% ABV. I think the alcohol could be better integrated, but this is a young wine that should get better and more smooth under the right conditions. Very nice--it complemented and helped cut the richness of a prime ribeye.

2012. Not much nose; sophisticated GSM blend, pretty long finish; Calif but not at all jammy.
