Probably towards the end of its drinking window, showing fantastically though. Dark cherry and spice on the nose with notes of old leather shoes, cigar box and prunes. On the palate it retains a good tannic structure and tastes of blackberries, cherries and baking chocolate. This is fantastic.

A wine I've reviewed before and continues to reward. Ribeyes from Costco also don't disappoint!

Wonderful color and and aromas. Cedar, raspberries, briar dehydrated black fruit.
Having with smoked ribeye roast and the sweet fruit is intense on the pallet and marries well with the entree. Mt. Veeder shows via the concentrated black fruit and graphite. Long finish with soft tannins.

2002 vintage. Even a slight cold does not slow down the deep red fruits and cedar aromas.
Flavors take more than one pass to capture the diversity.
Great acidity and still medium tannins keep fruit bright from start to finish. Tannins hold finish a long time for pomegranate, cranberry, and dark cherry to dance.
