What a statement towards #IPOB this is a wonderful, ethereal product. Don't give me any bullshit about ripeness. At 12.4% alcohol this has more polyphenolic range than most anything above 14% I've tasted. Wow! Best 40 bucks I've ever spent on a CA wine.

Garnet pale color, lighter style, dried fruit, underbrush, on austere side, very restrained fruit. However good balance, lingering finish. On balance, not my favorite style.
