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.

Layers of red fruit with mushrooms & herbs. Great balance. Nice 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.

Too young but what balance of acid/tannin and fruit.
